I have a Corningware 9 cup Stovetop Percolator AND I love it. The problem is that the seal around the metal rim is corroded, so when I pour a cup of coffee, some goes in and leaks out down the outside of the pot. I have left an e-mail with Corningware and posted a question on howtomendit.com.

There was a recall on these pots years ago and they highly recommend not using them. They said there was a problem with the handle-whatever- which could cause burns damage or something like that. I have not gotten rid of mine as I still use it when our electric goes off, but they told me not to use it anymore.
My E-1210 just did the separation thing this morning, but I was prepared for it...lifting the pot with a potholder from the bottom prevented the usual disaster. I'm sort of glad it did, because now I can see exactly what's going on with the epoxy bond...and yes, it's drying out/shrinkage of the epoxy that causes this to happen. There is no fix for it, and the USPSC recalled them ALL back in the '70s. It sure makes a great cup of coffee, but I'm not going to fill the stainless with epoxy and wait for it to fall apart.
Im going to try devcon on the seal .
I worked in a Western Auto store that sold these coffee pots in the 1960's. They had not been on the market but a few weeks until the recall was issued. It was because the handle could let go and cause a person to be scalded.
All were recalled in 1979
Check for replacement parts on ebay.

Good luck with your coffee pot. I have an electric 9 cup that leaks near the handle as well. This is common for these pots as far as I know. There was a recall because the handle would suddenly fall apart and caused some injuries. I have used my corning ware coffee pot for over 20 years after I found it in the back under my mothers cabinet.
I am not sure how to fix the problem, I have one I found several years ago and use it all the time. I found a copy of the recall and it pertains to the electric pots. Mine is electric and have the same problem. When the handle goes I will find a way to use it any way. I would like one for the stove top or another electric. Love it!
I have a corningware stove top 9 cup coffee pot white blue corn flower and I need either the inside set or the
Filter Basket Lid ( flat lid Top for coffee grinds holder)
There is no strainer lid for the coffee basket on some models. Fo some the coffee basket fastens to the lid with a 1/4 turn and then you drop the whole thing into the pot. Again there is no basket lid on some models.
Oh my goodness! THANK YOU! I have been looking for a top for the basket for so long. Your tip was my answer. Thanks a million - it's my favorite brewed coffee.

HI WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WE HAD OURS FOR 47 YEARS AND AS YOU WE LOVE IT WELL TODAY I TRIED SILICONE WE SHALL SEE IF IT WORKS MY NEXT STEP IS CLEAR FLEX SEAL. BUT THATS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO APPLY IF THAT DONT WORK I'LL TRY TO FIND A REPLACEMENT PART.
Did you ever find a solution to the inside seal problem?
Yes J B weld two part glue mix together turns grey . Take the seal off clean pot surface and put the glue on the area in the ring around pot reuse same seal ,make sure to put excess amount of glue at the handel area. Press the seal around pot and press handle ring back on pot . Wipe off all excess glue . Set for 24 hrs works like new
how do you take the metal top/seal off? my model doesn't have an obvious screw on the band. it is a 9 cup stove model
Did you ever figure out how to remove the metal band and handle? Im stuck.
Does anyone have a metal basket lid for this 9 cup corningware coffee pot? To sell me?

I just read in some of the other answers to this post that some pots dont require a basket lid. The pot's lid screws onto the basket eliminating the need for a basket lid.
Late to the game but after looking for a corningware percoulator I found one. Now after having delicious coffee for a week I noticed it might be dirty under metal band.
I tried to clean and it got really loose and I was able to remove and clean up. Now it had a gasket ug awful dry and brittle. Found this thread. Of course I am now caught up with recalls and I have to have my coffee in the morning so I used butyl tape marine grade, which i had on hand. I hope it works.
Found a stovetop P-116 at a resale shop today and brought it home. While cleaning and preparing it for a "test", I noticed no handle screws and a smidge of glue residue. Thinking this could be a future problem, I found the 1979 recall and solutions suggested on this forum. We're keeping our nostalgic new friend and hope to enjoy it well into the future.
