We had a date night here and made some awesome items, a large mug and a cauldron (it was halloween time and we use it for soup). Anyway, when we picked it up, it appears that an insect was baked into the mug. Not only that, but their cheapness is showing already. The paint we used quickly stained into a brownish color. We just used tea in the mug, and it stained it after maybe one or two uses. Pretty disappointing after paying $60 for just a mug and a bowl.
