I was afraid these would be very fragile pieces, but they are actually quite sturdy and indeed very beautiful. My four-year-old grandson helped to unpack them and arrange them for Christmas. I am very impressed with the artisanship. The price is very reasonable given the quality of the 10 pieces.
I bought this to serve as a container to serve juice as I have simple, clear juice glasses. It serves well. It is bigger than I thought and looks colorful and festive.
