chips easily
I bought these mugs because the reviews indicated that they were sturdy and chip resistant. That is not the case. I broke a handle off on my first use. Within a week, I saw a chip on another. It was a small chip and I was able to put some fingernail polish on to hide the chip. I consider myself a careful person, but the slighest ding and a chip occurs.I can't reccomend them to anyone unless they are used for display only. The color and style is beautiful but everyday use is not for these mugs.
