So first, and most importantly, this is DEFINITELY real marble. It is polished and has that "shine" you would expect, and it has the weight to it that you would see in real stone But beyond that, the piece is just beautiful overall. I've never really seen green marble before this, but it did not disappoint! It's a beautiful green color with white and black marbling, and the entire cup is carved from a single piece marble, so there are none of those glue stains or construction issues you sometimes see with poorly made marble pieces. Corners are all rounded, giving it a very high-end feel, along with just the general look of the piece. With the exception of the inside, it has been polished and shines in the light, which I can't really capture in my photos, but is definitely there Overall, this cup is amazing looking - it's beautiful, both in its green color and the Careful construction by the manufacturer, and I highly recommend buying one!

I love anything dark green, and this marble cup is a lovely addition to my decor... It *is* predominantly dark green, but it does also have soft pale blue and white, which, when combined, reminds me a bit of moss agate, which I adore!! The cup is smoothly carved, although along the bottom rim, it's a bit imperfect and wobbly looking if you scrutinize it (though that doesn't matter much to me...gives it a bit of a rustic look). On the inside, it's less polished looking, and there are scrape marks and mysterious blotches. Personally, there's no way I'd drink from this cup (or any marble cup, really). I'll just be using it as decor. Recommended if you like the look in the pictures! Read more
This tumbler is well turned, smooth and even, and finished to a soft gloss. It's a nice weight and feels good in my average sized female hand. If you use it for beverage there's a ridge at the bottom where the little finger can support the smooth sided tumbler to avoid spills. It's currently on my kitchen counter holding tea strainers and measures. Because they're crafted of natural stone, each will be unique. A pretty characteristic of this particular tumbler is that maybe 5-8% has inclusion of what looks like quartz which is a touch 'sparkle-y' and translucent so light plays through in interesting patterns. It's a nice tumbler that will last a lifetime of multi-tasking. Read more
This is a really nice, heavy, solid marble cup that looks fabulous and feels fancy. But the inside, especially near the bottom, has not been finished, so when you look inside the cup the rough marble finish makes it look especially unappetizing. Could not serve a beverage in this. So that narrows it down it's uses to a vase-type thing, or maybe a toothbrush holder. (In fact, the unfinished interior makes it look like somebody's already been using it as toothbrush holder for a couple of year without rinsing it out ever.) Read more
This is beautiful marble vessel. I ordered it for my guest bathroom, to hold toothbrushes. It’s weighted and heavy, and will not easily topple over. The green tones are rich and deep, with a lot of interesting veining. It would also make a wonderful pen/pencil or makeup brush holder, a place for long tea spoons at a coffee bar, or perhaps even a small planter. I would recommend it to others. Read more
This marble cup is so pretty in person. The marble is heavy with specks of white and darker green and some subtle veining. I don’t typically like overly glossy marble finishes because they can look a little cheap, so I love that this one has a slight shine to it. I’m using it in the bathroom as a toothbrush holder but I might use it on the vanity for makeup brushes instead Read more
This small cup is perfect to hold pens or pencils in the office or toothbrushes in the bathroom. However for drinking, it would be a little small and hard to clean as this must be had washed. The inside was not as finished and smooth as the outside when made but it is made with good quality. This is a beautiful green jade product for any marble fan or collector and looks incredible wherever you choose to use it. This is a lifetime piece to enjoy. Read more
I love marble, so this was a must have, It is small, so at the moment I'm using it as a pencil holder. It could be used as a drinking glass, or holder for just bout anything. The green is almost black. It's heavy and well made. Looks beautiful. Would make a great gift. Read more
