Good mugs cheap, but be fast! - Collecting Tiki

Is this something one finds desirable in a mug? Trader Woody hit it right on the nose. Glazing is not necessarily a determining factor for age, nor is it a good or bad thing. Many ceramic pieces that come out of Japan today are crazed intentionally to add to the character of the piece. I've seen beautiful ceramic bowls that are flawless on the outside with a rich dark glaze that is intentionally crazed on the inside. Old or new, ceramic or plastic, if it appeals to me, I get it. That's the mantra I try to follow. Rare or not, ceramic or plastic, crazed, smooth, straight or crooked - if it looks cool, then it's mine!
