I thought they would be much thinner and delicate but they do have a sturdiness to them. they are beautiful!! look and feel really well made, the glass is very clear and the gold detail seems reliable to not chip; probably wont put these in the dishwasher. love the design and everything about them, i dont usually write reviews but these took my breath away when i took them out of the box, so doing my due diligence! absolutely stunning.
