Question about storing Tiki Mugs outside - Collecting Tiki

I'm keeping them out of the light and dry, but beyond that they'll be exposed to the changing seasons. Freeze/ thaw isn't typically an issue with ceramics (or any other material) unless they absorb water in some way and THEN freeze. That's when you get spalling/ cracking/ failure. If you keep them in a dry area they should be fine. Personally I have "good" mugs and cheapo mugs, the cheapo ones are for outdoor display.
