for a real old Ceramic teapot lid.

Glue/epoxy needs be strong
water proof
non gap filling. the joints are tight.
high enough temperature rate
food grade
clear or white preferred

How close to this list can I get?

It's for my 95 year old Mother

I would use “Gorilla epoxy clear”. Found at Lowes or Home Depot. 5 minute set-time, extreme heat tolerance, gap filling.

UV glues wouldn't work. The UV light needs to penetrate all the way through, which won't happen with ceramic.

On 3rd thought, see a professional.

Call a local antique shop and ask who they use.
