While the design is fine and the color is good, the workmanship is very poor. I returned one because the glaze was cracked and browned in places, only to have it replaced by one with even more cracks and a pebbled not smooth finish. Also, when the second one arrived, it was in a second sealed box with the name and pictures printed on the outside--rather than just wrapped in crumpled paper and sent in an old box, leading me to believe that the first one was a shop back to begin with.
