<span>1. I am definitely sure that the Holy Grail for Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars is to have the ultimate power. That’s why he chooses the Siths’ side. According to his words: "I will even learn to stop people from dying", he thinks that the power of the Siths’ lords will give him an ability to cheat death. The Emperor promised him to give Anakin this power.
2. In my view the Holy Grail for Merida from Pixar’s “Brave” is freedom. She is quite selfish and she doesn’t want to depend on her mother. She just wants to wander through the forests and do what she wants to do. Anyway she changes throughout the film. But I think that her dream is to be independent.
3. As far as I remember, the Holy Grail to Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye is to find peace and a place to belong. But his Holy Grail is more metaphorical than actual. Unfortunately he doesn’t find a place to belong.
4. I think that the Holy Grail to Juliet from Shakespeare’s poem is obviously love. She wanted to bond with her love Romeo. She has many obstacles to build relationship with him but her goal is to find peace with him.
5. If my memory serves me well, the Holy Grail to Harry Potter from the Rowling’s seven-book series is to save the magical world. He was the main target of Voldemort and he was ready to prey his life to kill Voldemort if it will save people he loves. <span>

Is hyperbole in answer? Because that's what it would be.
You can say that the cracks(if there are any) show that the butler has not cared for it, if that's the question, you haven't provided a picture.
You can talk about the physical damage proves that the butler was careless about it and did not treat it gently.
as extra, you can say that the kettle is a metaphor for someone else the butler had treated poorly, the physical scars on the kettle similar to that person's emotional scars.
