Repair a Turkish coffee pot

After years of dedicated service, my dzezva, (small pot for Turkish coffee) split badly at the handle. Multiple repair attempts with gobs of glue did not help. I sawed off the split third of the handle, sanded it down and drilled in a new screw hole. It needed reinforcement at the joint and some insulation against further splitting, so green Sugru covered most of the handle. More reinforcement was needed and the green stem suggested a flower.
