the paint comes off when in contact with water.
So, this bottle looks pretty, it's in a rustic style. But sadly, the pain started coming off the day after I put it to use.  it seems that the paint is water soluble, which is not something you will expect on a soap dispenser because it is always exposed to water.  I would return it but it makes sense to keep it ever when the paint is peeled off. I can cover it with new paint if i want to.  I do like the screw-on top's color.  I also found that the jar does not close too tight and may be leaking if you turn it down.
