Is my Icicles 32 defective?

I've never handled a glass toy before purchasing Icicles 32, and I have to say that I'm disappointed.

Like glass ornaments or paperweights, I expected the surface to be highly polished and smooth. No32 was packaged in styrofoam, and I thought the random sand-like texture was due to sticky bits of styrofoam that could be washed/wiped away. This was not the case, and with closer inspection I see that the surface has tiny bumps/scratches concentrated on some parts, while other nubs are nearly flawless.

The imperfections are not noticeable when dragged across the skin, but I really don't like handling it in my, well, hands.

What do you think? Is this particular product defective? Were my expectations unrealistic?

Are glass dildos a harder material than hard plastic dildos?
I'm just exploring all about glass and want to learn as much as possible about it before buying, if I buy.

Which do you think is the best? I want one but really unsure of which to get.

Steel, wood or glass?
Which do you like more?

Are glass dildos really worth the danger?
Unno. Seems risky to me. But maybe worth trying.

It sounds like a defective item. If you bought it from EF, you can submit a support ticket and get the situation resolved.
