impractical coffee mugs
Looks great on-line. Very impractical to use. The Curveture of the mouth of the cup is so round that it is very difficult to put your lips to drink hot beverages.Also, i was under the impression that it was made in Italy product but it turns out made in China.

Glassware?
The material appears to be plastic not glass. It is very thin and I believe it is actually plastic. I would not recommend this product.

badly designed -- more fragile does not equal higher quality
I love drinking tea, coffee, cocoa -- almost everything hot -- in a small, graceful teacup with saucer. It's the antithesis and antidote of a big clunky mug with some corporate logo or Hallmark card joke on it.So I bought these -- one for myself and one to give as a Christmas gift. (I've bought Bormioli before for bar-ware, and their more substantial products are both durable and beautiful.) Unfortunately, I placed the order on the same day I ordered new flatware. These cups came in the same box, with heavy knives and forks, and no paper packing to keep the two from sliding into each other. The plastic air pockets were so loosely laid in the box that the flatware just slid under them and into the wafer-thin glass cups.It wouldn't have mattered, though. The cups are such thin boroscilate glass, that even careful handling would have burst them into shards. I'm not even sure they weren't destroyed before they left Amazon. Or before they left Bormioli in Italy, for that matter.I'm not sure why Bormioli -- or Bodum, or any of the companies that sell boroscilate glass as their stock in trade, -- can't manage to add the extra millimeter or two necessary to make the glass into something more substantial than tissue paper.Amazon replaced the shattered cups -- and of those, only 1 arrived whole. Even packed in a box without the flatware, their flimsy paper box and too-thin design couldn't withstand normal shipping. Perhaps the shattering occurred when the shipping department stamped FRAGILE on the box. I can't imagine putting something as heavy and hot as tea in one of these cups -- I'd be afraid that the stress on the cup would cause it to burst and spill all over me.As for the steel saucer -- it's very thin as well, and has a good look and design to it. But there's no use for a saucer like this if the cups won't make it to the first use.

bad
I think the material is too thin. It's very easy to break. It was broken when I received the package. I returned the product right away.
