The lips look like they're cold painted so I was hoping no firing would be necessary. But do they need to fire the patched area? I don't know. I bought this piece to sell, but...that probably aint gonna happen. His smile/grimace has kinda grown on me. The chip is something I could live with. I am just looking into the idea of restoration. Seeing what possibilities are out there. Since there is such a large group of people here that do collect mugs I thought maybe this might be a topic that should be discussed further. Yes? No?
