I like the weight and general look of this set.  However the marble striations throughout the larger pieces are noticeably missing on some sides, and there are marks that make it look like the marbling was wiped off (see photo).  I am using some of the pieces other than for their likely intended use, and that works fine.  I wish that rather than just a cup, the set included a cup with a partitioned top for toothbrushes.  Still, a generally attractive set.
