Way bigger than I thought! I expected them to be shorter and more narrow. The wider size doesnt bother me at all though, very nice cups. Heavy bottom which is good but the rest of the cup is quite thin. I haven’t experienced any cracking or breaking but I’ve only had them for about two weeks and I hand wash. If you want high ball glasses for cocktails, these might be too big. Not as appealing to the eye for a cocktail. The cup holds a lot of liquid! These are my dinner cups and I love them. Only bad thing is they get finger marks so easily !
