The teacup crack'd from side to side
Jun. 1st, 2019 12:42 pmOkay, it was a mug, not a teacup, but that doesn't scan. And I would like advice.
I have a set of nice sturdy dishes (stoneware? I dunno) that I bought at a garage sale several years ago. Instead of teacups and saucers, it has mugs. I don't use the mugs much, because I prefer large ones for my morning coffee, but they're occasionally useful. These dishe replaced a set of hand-me-down china that I got from my parents and never liked and that are still sitting in a storage cupboard. But never mind that.
This morning, when I was emptying the dishwasher, I felt a rough spot on the handle. On further examination, it turned out to be a crack. I pulled a bit on it, and a chunk of handle just over an inch long came off in my hand.
So: Is it worth trying to repair this? I have six other mugs in good repair, which should be sufficient to my needs. But the two ends match up nicely, so if a good repair will make the mug reliably functional, I'm fine with that. I just don't want to have to worry that it'll break while someone (who will likely be me) is holding a mugful of hot beverage.
And if I do repair it, is superglue the way to go, or should I use something else?
