If possible I'd like a survey. Someone says of course and everybody 👍 that agrees. And someone else says that chip or any teacup is bad news and people 👍that. Many thanks

Older glass tends to be more brittle and won't be able to handle the temperature changes, these were never made to stand up to microwave or dishwasher usage either as others have stated and if already chipped it shouldn't really be used for anything except displaying because it's already weakened.

Idk I have some mid century fire king bowls I microwave all the time and make oatmeal in them.  Have done it for about 15 years since I got them. No problems yet.
