I absolutely loved these mugs for color, design, size, and comfort. Unfortunately, the first dishwasher cycle caused some minor, but noticeable, chips around the sipping rim. I was devastated! I would have been happy to wash them by hand, if I had known how fragile they were. The description stated that they were dishwasher safe. Not true. I would recommend you buy these lovely mugs, only if you are willing to hand-wash them.
