Won this thingie on eBay, and I am mystified. I bid on it because I was pretty sure it was a mug that had been tricked out as a candle holder by one owner or another, and was all prepared to restore its former glory. Not so sure though. It has epoxy or something on the upper rim holding the candle tray in place. The screw to jam the candle onto comes loose, but the holder won't budge, not surpisingly. The weirdest thing is the finish. Ever gotten a mug that has this matet streaky crap brown finish that comes off with paint thinner? I am praying there is glaze underneath (just did a test rub on the bottom so far), and am contemplating getting some acetone to try to dissolve the epoxy.

Or on the other hand, if someone has seen one before, tell me quick so I don't bugger it up!

aloha, em.
