Collectible Mug
Posted October 31, 2008

Why do people think that a small chip in their ceramic or clay pots and vessels means it's ruined or a tragedy?
People always get angry or feel violated if one of their cookie jars, or mugs or plates or flour jars etc gets a chip in it. The vessel still functions perfectly, has the same shape, and it shouldn't matter.
I'm not talking about a rare collectible 15th century thing. Then it might matter.
But people still cry over a chipped pot that costs 3 dollars, and then throw it away as if it's worthless.
What am i missing?
You are missing the fact that we live in a very wealthy country (USA), despite many do not see it that, it is the truth.
I mean I am so Americanized that sometime I have to dig deep down to remember how it was like when I was young. For example, nowday whenever we get a new cabinet or desk, we toss the old furnitures away, literally. When I was young, friends and relatives would line up to get old furnitures. Now, you only see college students do that, and only some college students do that. Here is another example: cookware. I remember people used to pass down cookware from generation to generation. In the old day, when a bride get married, her mom will give her the cookware. It is considered a very important and emotional gift. Now, it is an insult to give your daugther old cookware. Yes, for the brides who actually know cooking, they will appreciate an aged seasoned cast iron pan, but most brides do not know how to cook and they want to get a brand new set of shiny cookware and then the couple probably do not even know how to use them. I read so many strange compliants like, "Oh my god! Meat stick to my stainless steel pan", "Oh my god! There is white spot on my stainless steel after cooking." Cookware get scratched? Throw it away. Clothing loses a button? Throw it away. White undershirt no longer bright white? Throw that away as well. I am not talking about wealthy people. I am talking about pretty much 80% of Americans.
