At least for a week or so.
Some years ago BH bought me an IKEA mug for my morning tea. Some time later I was able to buy two more identical ones at a car book sale, which as I explained to the young lady selling them, meant that washing up went to once every three days.
Sadly two of that three have been broken, but a week or so ago, tired of all this washing up rigmarole, I managed to source eight more from ebay. Six of them not the right colour, but things are definitely looking up.
The one at the top is the veteran, as can be deduced from looking inside. Maybe the tea rots the glaze eventually.
PS: I learn that IKEA source these mugs from Thailand, but I imagine cutting out the middleman would be complicated and very probably more expensive.
