It may just be for china but might be worth a shot. YMMV He had a set of china plates to fix that was his mothers. They had a really big crack in the side of the plate. Well he took the plates placed them into a big pot boiled them with about 1 cup of milk.
For those who really want to know the world of coffee with a technical and scientific approach. You cannot even tell where you made the repair. I am hoping to make a visit to their studio in the future. There was no visible sign of the old repair and it looks great. Specifically, since I didn't know you when I placed my order, I could only hope that you would produce quality work for a fair price.
He told me that by boiling the milk with the plates it will close up the crack. The materials that are in the plate will react with the milk to cause it to close up the crack.
If it does break you can glue it back together with epoxy. But there isn't anything that will seal a crack that hasn't broken. There is some kind of glue that can be painted on the outside. I remember seeing a video on how experts repair broken china.

She taped all the bits back together and then painted some kind of clear glue on top of the cracks. That way you don't end up with a mostly glued item and a last piece that won't fit. I don't know how to find that video, though. That is the very reason why a glazing is needed to seal it, in order to make it food safe, if we want to make something, such as a cup, from it.
If that ceramic cup were to be left unglazed, it would soak up some of whatever is put into it and we would never be able to clean it all out. Whatever is soaked into the ceramic, would then grow mold, trap bacteria and so become a health hazard. That is the reason why most health codes require any ceramics used to serve food or drink, to people, to discard crazed ceramics.
I dropped a handmade coffee mug and it cracked but did not shatter. Can it be saved? I don't know how to find that video, though. posted by. That is called crazing. It is a crack or fissure in the enamel coating on the cup, not indicative of deep structural flaws. Your cup is unlikely to fail.
The crazing cracks in the glass sealing the ceramic in a cup, does not give us cause for concern that the cup might break and spill hot liquid onto a person, because that will not happen, due to crazing alone. Crazing is simply cracks in the glazing that seals the ceramic beneath it, thus rendering it a health hazard to anybody drinking from it.

We should be careful to never discount a health code, as rediculous, simply because we may not understand the reason s behind it. Those rules haven't been arbitrarily thought up to create a hassle, or hardship, for people serving food. They have been created to protect us, for a verifiable reason, from a danger to our health. Cracks in any dishes hold bacteria so they are always unsafe.
Never use dishes with any cracks in them for food. Chips on edges of plates or serving dishes do not really present a problem, but all tiny cracks present a health problem and the poster is also exactly right about leaching into the cracks and molds and staining resulting. If dishes have any cracks, even tiny crazing, you should think of them as unsafe for foods and eating, any kind of foods, even dry foods.

And what is unsafe for humans is also unsafe for your pets. Bacteria that you do not know about can be deadly. That is why it is important for human animals and pet animals to eat cooked foods.

I have a large ceramic soup cup which appears to be internally damaged after being rinsed with cold water while hot: Is this cup still safe to use, or is it likely to shatter or otherwise fail during use? Your cup is unlikely to fail in the sense of completely breaking due to the craze in the glaze.

On the other hand, they will stain over time, and be unsightly, and hard to wash out. The cup is certainly not so old so as to have lead-containing glaze.

I wasn't sure if the damage was in the glaze or the underlying ceramic. Wayfaring Stranger 9, 1 26 Len Forder 1 1.
