One actually didn't come off, but it would have with just the right "lift" if you ran your hand across it. The other is on a new Bali Hai mug with the lid where the chip actually came off. As a quick fix I used "Aleene's Jewel-It" Embellishing Glue. It's a jewelers glue that dries clear and will hold through repeated washings. I carefully rub a dab throughout the chip, took a damp washcloth to remove the excess and let the rest of the glue dry. To date, the chips in both mugs have held, and the glue dried clear exactly as the bottle said it would and have had no problems so far. Maybe it will work for you?
