Great for icecream or soup!  All mugs arrived with no damage and were packaged very safe with cardboard dividers. I was a bit surprised at the large size. I’d describe them as a small bowls, not as coffee mugs. They’re a bit heavy and awkward to use for coffee, but they do still manage to fit for use with the Keurig.  I’ve used them for icecream and they worked perfectly. They seem very heavy duty and durable. In daylight, the color is more of a dark charcoal or faded black, not a deep rich black.  With the matte finish they look nice and modern! Again, I would not really recommend these to be purchased as a coffee cup, as they’re a bit bulky, but if you’re looking for new soup or icecream bowls, these work and look great!
