Items are not “handmade” or “unique”
Googled “sassy canisters” and found they’re mass produced in China, with tons of resellers on Etsy and Amazon and on Uncommon Goods! I thought Uncommon Goods actually sold artisan products, which justified the prices! People are paying $68 for the “artisan made” item on UC, but you can get the exact item for $20 on Amazon. I googled the “artisan” and found she advertises herself online as a photographer (possibly legit, although many of the photos she sells on canvas, etc seem likely to be licensed stock photos). Surely if she were a ceramicist whose design had been copied by Chinese factories she’d make that known? The name and person’s photos match, but the stories do not. I don’t blame anyone for making a buck reselling cute stuff from China, but I do blame Uncommon Goods for their deceptive and false representation of the items they sell. Won’t buy from them again, and will be sharing this information, especially with my sweet relative who does the majority of her gift shopping on the site. She will be embarrassed and horrified to learn she’s been lied to for years by Uncommon Goods.
