They were a lighter blue than shown. They are not what i expected. They are solid but i have to take special care of them to make them last longer. I just feel for 200.00 i over paid for something that i am not impressed with. i threw the box out so i am stuck with them. i would not recommend this product to anyone else. i use to have a copper set with heavy WHITE enamel not off white and i had half an inch aluminum bottom. this does not but is flush. this is a very pretty set of pans but no way is it worth what i paid for them. i don't care if they were listed as 400.00 initially. next time i will go to Ollies outlet and get a better set for less money. you are over priced on a lot of stuff. period. i've been with you for years but i question if i will buy anything ever again from you.
