3.0 out of 5 starsIf it weren't for that coating... :(
ByT.m.caurinuson April 29, 2015
The shape and size of this toy are lovely for me -- I'm on the small and sensitive end of the spectrum. The blue swirl is not as deep as it looks in the photo, but it's still visible and quite attractive. However, I had to take two stars off because of that iridescent coating. It looks pretty, sure, but it also gives the toy a slightly gritty texture. Since the main attraction of glass is its slick surface, that grittiness really detracts from the toy for me. In addition, it's not clear (haha) how durable that coating is, or what it's made of, so it could also detract from the body-safe aspect of a glass toy. Sadly, I haven't used mine since the first try upon receiving it over a year ago. I have another one that's somewhat similar in shape and size -- without the pretty swirl but also without the annoying coating -- and I use that one instead when I want glass.
