If there is a powdery white substance coming from the crazing that means the item was bleached because of staining before being sold. Try soaking it in distilled water for 24 hours. If it just has crazing and no white substance there is not too much you can do. It is sometimes possible to refire the item to reglaze it but thats super tricky and usually very expensive. I know Replacements Ltd. sometimes does that when they have very expensive earthenware that has become crazed.
