That mug's trying too hard to look authentically worn. Real wabisabi happens naturally through use, not manufactured distressing. The best imperfections come from years of morning coffee, not a designer's brush. Give me a chipped favorite mug over Instagram-ready "rustic" any day.

LOL - It's ten years old, washed by hand, and that's 100% real. But I agree with where you're coming from.
