    Ozzie?    It is possible to make an all metal seal.   put to say.....1"x1" squares of microflat steel facing
    one another.     You'll never pull them apart but have to slide...
    As for ceramic?    Unless glazed / finished, you still can get a decent seal.   I'd guess the lid / kettle will have to very well aligned.   and parallel where / when closed......

    Wish I had pics of my hauling 8 railroad ties in my '86 Saab 900T (after I loaded six the suspension bottomed out, so I had to make two trips).  
    I hear you about your particular story and here is yet another tale of my using that Benz for some unusual purpose...Back a few years ago I was building a vacuum driven sawdust collection network in my work shop tying together my stationary machines.  I designed it to use 4" PVC. So I went to my home improvement center and purchased 10 pieces of 10' long 4" PVC. In order to get them home I stood them up one by one thru my open sun roof!   I swear my car looked like some secret roving military weapon that could launch 10 rockets at some evil country!

    Unfortunately my picture of proof died when I told Photobucket to kiss my...well, you get the idea...
    GEEZZZZZ, Ron!!! Those were NOT 4" PVC!!!! but rather 6" PVC!!! and besides for you wood butchers like me I ran a bare copper wire through that entire network and grounded it due to the static electricity caused by the movement  of sawdust thru that plastic pipe!
