I really love the Azure pattern and have other items in this range. The mugs look good and are a lovely shape. However they are really heavy, even more so when filled with a liquid. With a tiny handle, this makes them difficult to hold, unless you have large asbestos hands. One of my 4 mugs arrived with a tiny chip out the bottom. Suppose I should have asked for a replacement, but in the grand scheme of things, it is a minor fault.
