I went to Wine and Whiskey Decanter based on their ads for mineral coffee mugs. On the site they show beautiful mineral mugs and a video of how they are made.
I ordered 3 and received some of the most hideous homemade hand painted plastic mugs that I have ever seen.
After reaching out to their customer care team providing photos of what I ordered vs what I received, I got the following response :” I’m sorry to hear that you’re disappointed with the product.
The mug you purchased is inspired by the beauty of natural minerals, but it is not made from actual mineral crystal. These mugs are designed to replicate the elegant look of gemstones, such as amethyst and agate, with careful attention to detail. The product is intended to offer a unique, artistic design that brings the charm of natural minerals into your home.

Additionally, they represent like they are shipping from the US, when in fact it is China.
