Very nice.  At first you think they are real and not melamine.  The outside of the bowl is solid white.  It would look more realistic if the outside had a pattern instead of all white.  There is texturing in the bowl.  It is a little overdone in my opinion, but overall very nice.  Colors are very dark teal blue, muted mint green, peach, olive, forest green and blue, mostly blue.  They have a nice weight.
