Very nice, festive and colorful, just like I was looking for, for a long time.  However, a little on the light side / fragile...worried about chipping these over time, thus the 4 stars.  Needed 6 mugs so bought 2 sets...will have some as spares.  Will wash these by hand for longevity.  No damage in transit from CA to MD via ground - good packaging. Overall happy with purchase and price.
