[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 868926, member: 5833"]I wondered whether the pigment used for the blue might have an effect on how the glaze held up. Also seem to recall other threads where the opinion on posted item was that crazing not due to passage of time & evidence of something trying to look older than it really is. Just took a look at an inherited piece of McCoy that I know is at least 80 years old to see how it is aging. Interior more spider webby than exterior, although hard to compare as it is Cusack's corn pattern, which obscures appearance of surface; bottom is similar color & has crazed similarly; inside of lid is closer to white & has not crazed at all.
