i didn't want to spend a lot on a pair of new lamps for my living room, so these looked perfect.  I read all the reviews and knew there would be some irredescence, but they were a little more than I would have liked and not much color to them as in the picture.  The glazing had quite a few bubbles and places where the glaze didn't adhere. They were packed well, so appears the glazing issues happened during manufacturing. At the price of lamps, probably got my money's worth.
