I received a Tiki Farm's Trader Vic kava bowl last Christmas, and bought an Enchanted Tiki Room Pele mug at Disneyland this summer. Both of items were new and in pristine condition when I got them.

However, I recently noticed both pieces developed crazing. The crazing wasn't there when I first got them, but they sure are there now. The mugs have been sitting on a shelf for almost the entire time, and were never used for anything but for show.

On the other hand, I have two Tiki Farm Cheeseburger-At-The-Oasis mugs, and both show no sign of crazing. These pieces are smaller than the kava bowl or the Pele mug.

Has anybody noticed crazing developing on their Tiki Farm items? Could the crazing be caused by the size of the kava bowl and Pele mug? It certainly cannot be caused by age. Hmmmmmm.
