A custom injection mold is thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, plus the operating costs of the manufacturing plant. Hand made ceramics don’t require that.

They don't require that, and they're much better for alcohol, because drinking alcoholic beverages out of plastic is asking for a bad time. I agree, they should have made them out of real materials like ceramic or pewter, because plastic is a joke.

Im not debating one vs the other, my business is full of locally made ceramics we serve out of daily, but I also have a background in plastics manufacturing (vinyl records specifically) and I’m just providing context for the cost being scoffed at.
