Atomic Tiki Punk when just displayed they will last forever. But here's the scoop on use.

The mug Stacy sold for $5 (irresistible) had a lot of damage on the top edge so I would say that it should never be used.

Your message reminded me that I hadn't fixed the paint on the bucket mug. This mug can be used as long as it's not put in a dishwasher or scrubbed. No one would do that to a bucket mug anyway. This was a real $5 treasure. In this photo it is still wet, it will dry Matte or flat.

The Tiki Roots Rocka mug was a 1/1 hand built mug. So much work and such a beautiful mug that it needed to go into a collection. It could have been left as it was but since Dan will just be looking at it I leveled the bottom. The putty is not as strong as ceramic so it should just be left on display.

So for the most part these types of repair are cosmetic and not structural.

Thanks for asking. Cheers, Wendy
