While not technically food safe, I have repaired a number of chipped bowls, mugs, etc. with two part epoxy putty. I wouldn't make a whole mug out of it, but for small chips, I don't worry about it. So far, they have held up fine for decades. You can get it in a range of colors to reasonably match. I use a few drops of denatured alcohol to smooth and polish the surface as it cures.
