I have just brewed my first cup of tea in a mug I have purchased only to discover that there is a crack in the side of my newly purchased mug. It is a very thin crack, just at the handle. A fracture in the platelets of clay and molten molecules of the glaze; a rift in the reality of my cup where the tea seeps through! Tea escaping its proper confines! This cup was not destined to be a prison for tea. It must have some other, perhaps better purpose . . .

Perhaps this?

:) Yes, maybe this.
