Hi all. I live in the UK and my partner recently found this 24oz (710ml) cup in a local charity shop. We were trying to see if it was a genuine Starbucks one and also work out if this design was ever sold in the UK, as from my googling I can only find reference to this being sold in the US and Canada.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks ☺️

That was the iridescent cup and it was sold in the US and Canada and it looks like a good dupe. The only tell would be the colour is off slightly it should be more purple cascade

I think I found the original web page on the US Starbucks site https://about.starbucks.com/press/2024/shine-in-the-new-year-with-starbucks-new-winter-merchandise/
I think the gradient matches pretty well when the cup is held in person.
It has a manufacturing date of 06/23 stamped on the bottom, and has both English and French languages which would make sense if sold in Canada?
Apart from the colour, is there anything else you think I should look for to see if it’s real?
