I have bought numerous Steven Brown items over the years including a canvas, cutting board, 6 small mugs 3 large mugs, biscuit tin and have been pleased, but recently one of the smaller mugs has had a crack by the handle and was replaced no problem- now another mug has now gone with the same defect apparently these expensive mugs are not built to last and as I have had it 9 months I cant expect them to last. Well considering I have mugs and other porcelain and China items which have lasted up to one hundred years -I believe I have a faulty batch -the mugs are not stamped so quality, or lack of it, is the issue here. Ask anyone from the Potteries where quality is stamped. Very unhappy with the attitude of customer service. Apparently quality and safety do not matter or happy customers for that matter, shocking.
