OH. MY. ok, so these really are as gorgeous as they look. They really, really are. The nearly opaque color is a sheer golden champagne glaze over the bowl of the glass. I look at this and just think of the Rockettes, pure class and style. The design is simple but really makes me think of over the top hollywood regency. Just wow. I have a set of 6, plus a spare. There are no cracks, chips or flaws in them.
