Fred,
I have used stainless steel eyebolts attached to my raku. I used =
locking washers and rubber "O" rings where ever metal touched ceramic. =
It has held up very well over the years. I don't know about riveting, =
seems like alot of stress for me and the pot. Good luck

I haven't read all of these replies so maybe I missed this, but has anyone addressed the liability issue of attaching these handles onto these mugs? If someone has a hot liquid and the handle comes off, there could be a serious lawsuit.

I forgot who first asked the question but here is my suggestion.
If you are attaching the aluminum handles to ceramic mugs
perhaps two small metal bands could go around the mug and
attach the handles to the bands.
Some what like the metal band around of the glass coffee pot that you
most likely use or see everyday.... (Mr. Coffee or the like) In that case
they are attaching plastic to glass - almost a reverse situation.
This may eliminate the problem of heat loosening the handles and having an
accident/ lawsuit.
This could perhaps be done to accent the look of metal and ceramic in
combination.
You would still have to be careful about the expansion and contraction but
I think you could kill two birds with one stone - get a solid grip and have
a nice look at the same time.
Just an idea,

I also wonder, as not knowing the shape, section or length of the handle,
what expansion difference the handle would be likely to have in relation to
the 'mug' which would have almost none at normal washing and useing
tenperatures.
The adhesive would have to have some 'give' to accomidate this.
Overall, I do not think it sounds like a good idea TO do...to have an
Aluminum handle on a ceramic mug...but IF one was to...then the section and
shape and length may become important, and not merely 'that' the handle IS
'Aluminum'.
The smaller the better...as a one finger hole size 'handle' maybe...and NOT
a big handle as some mugs have.
Getting bumped in the sink, getting bumped in use...'hot'
liquids...different expansion coeficients of the respective materials...I'd
be tempted to 'lash' it on as someone mentioned...have small grroves in the
mug at the lash-points...but that, while sturdy, may look unpleasant...and
the lashing materials begin a new round of 'what-to-use' that will not
become unsightly after a while...
Why an 'Aluminum' handle?
Why not an 'Aluminum' mug entirely?
Aluminum 'shells' could be made to go over an integral 'handle' were it not
TOO clunky, and if the mugs were slip-cast for decided uniformity...but that
would be a lot of trouble...
Or...why must it have an Aluminum handle?
Fun to think about...but why do it?
