Crazed Coffee Cups.
20 Answers
I have three really beautiful, old, Art Deco Crown Devon coffee cups that I bought from a bring and buy sale some years ago. I have never used them. The inside glaze is crazed in each of the mugs.
Yesterday, Mr Tilly made me a cup of coffee and used one of the cups. I poured it down the sink when he wasn't looking because I had it ingrained in me as a child that you must never drink out of a cracked cup.
These cups are crazed, not cracked. Is it safe to drink from them,do you think.

There is also a current trend for using beautiful cups and saucers as candle stand - you can stand a tealight in them if you didn't want to put the wax directly into the cup.
