I'm assuming the mug you've got is a Moai type (Easter Island head). If it's a uniform brown/orange glaze, then it's an older one. It should have writing on the bottom. Newer ones have the addition of light brown stripes, and the writing on the back. I assume you can still get the newer ones for the price of a drink.
(Correct me if I'm wrong, folks!)

I'd personally avoid trying to repair it, though that's partially as I'm cack-handed and the result would be worse than it's pre-repair state. If you want a mug to drink from, maybe go for something new like a Tiki Farm or Munktiki mug where the glaze is safe, there are no cracks, and you know it's not previously been used as a plant-pot/pen-holder etc....
