True to colour, and just ridiculously beautiful! Honestly just looking at them makes me feel like I am on vacation in Europe. I ordered two sets of 4, one had a few issues, some stains under the crackle glass and one mug was chipped, but I have just contacted Wayfair to replace the parts. I am so happy with this purchase. Can't wait to have a dinner party! P.S. they are very heavy and feel sturdy. Hopefully they will last us years.
