What I learned as a glass collector and glassblower is that if you use an item made from a fragile material, it will eventually get broken. The only way to keep such things forever is to put them on a shelf and not use them. If you want to experience it, you must accept that eventually it will be damaged or destroyed.
My (now second) favorite cat broke the handle of my favorite mug the other day. I think I’m gonna fix it with that gold powder laquer method and make it better.
I should do that with this one ceramic cow mug I have!
Unfortunately I had this awesome glass cow cup from meow wolf and it’s so shattered. People would bring me glass when I was a glassblower, like “can you fix this??” and… well, with glue, I guess, but not my melting it back together, usually.

This is also a sobering reality when it comes to purchasing bongs.
I just smashed a pipe I loved and this reminded me :(
yeah, and for sure $3000 rigs.
