        Hi Gege... 
 Unless someone else pops in with info. I would advise you to take this picture to a local plumbing supply company and see if they can identify the make/model and get a part ordered for you.
 
 Otherwise, if it is only the porcelain part of the handle that is broken you may be able to take a small plastic pipe, for example, and cut it to the correct length and install it to the handle.. should give a reasonable presentation and at the least take the eye sore away... ;)
 
 You could also make your own out of clay and have a local potter fire it up with a porcelain glaze and then install that... just another idea... ;)
 
 Check back later tomorrow and see what others think.
 
 Good luck...

 Thank you Mark, 
I did bring the handle and picture to a few plumbing supply, but nobody can find the brand.

It looks like older model Restoration Hardware product. Go to Restoration Hardware - Furniture - Bed & Bath , get their contact info and request the replacement handle.
 
There should be brand name someplace on the valve or handle. Take a closer look... 
 
Good luck... and come back to let us know how you did. Milo

        My suggestion would be to make new ones out of white Corian.

        Thank you all for the help.
 I hope to find it now with these informations.
 About how it broke, well I guess the handle was loose, then it fall on the tiles and the porcelaine part broke.

How would I use a voltage tester? Would I go from outlet to outlet measuring the voltage? I've gone around the house and tightened outlets and opened the panel and tightened the screws that were not tight. 
I haven't seen the lights dim since I tightened everything. 
Thanks  a lot!
