My Mai Kai Mystery bowl (from Tiki Farm) has also developed a lot of crazing. I have used the bowl as a flower vase for a few tiki parties, filling it with water and using a padded, steel "pin frog" to keep the flowers standing. I have also used it for drinks, and filled the "guys" up with dry ice and water, so it will smoke into the bowl. I figured, even though this was the original feature of the Mystery bowl, the change of temperatures caused the crazing. The bowl wasn't cheap to purchase, but I do get the joy of using it instead of it sitting on my shelf collecting dust. I am sure the crazing will affect the resell value of the bowl, but it will probably get chipped or broken long before I offer it up for sell.
