At first I was pleased with these - they are absolutely beautiful! I was hesitant to spend $ on something I'd be putting dirt into, but was initially happy that I did. However, after six months, a huge crack began in the center of the bottom of the smaller pot. Literally, a crack so big you could look through and see the floor. I could see some peeling on the sides, as well, which makes me think that the sides were going to crack as well. I've since tossed these. The quality that I initially thought was there when I originally purchased these due to the great feel and weight of them was not real. Disappointing.
