Distressed Clay Pot-Small

I was excited to get them and was so bummed. Whatever it is they "color" the pots with, comes off EASILY on your hands. I was told by the gal in response, that she handled them herself before packaging, but the picture should speak for itself.... that, and the "made in China" box inscription. I offered to return them for a refund, but the refund policy was for unopened items only... well obviously I opened them. Super disappointed just glad I didn't spend more on these items.
