    but calling it two pieces connected by a handle is the only way I could think of to describe it and actually be understood

    Yes completely fair! I’m actually not sure about what would count as a separate “piece” with glassware and ceramics. There’s probably a mereological argument for why its one or the other

      Never heard that word before. Wikipedia: “Mereology is the philosophical study of part-whole relationships.” Fascinating that there’s a name for that!
