I am so glad I purchased these.  I started not to after reading some of the not-so-glowing reviews, but it's a purchase I'm excited about.  I will only use these for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but they are more than worth the small investment.  Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.  Large, too.  Not a single off color, scratch or imperfection.  I'm giddy with excitement and can't wait to use them on my holiday table!
