Did this cup bought in the winter of 2009 and since then every now and then used (maybe 50-60 times in the past 2 years). I have handled with care and it still looks like new :-) visually they really what makes her, she is the firecrackers in the office and can be really what the eye! I would recommend them without hesitation, it is really beautiful and makes a very strong impression. But I do not want to take a chance on it and leave it with the other cups in the dishwasher barge around - as I said, for it is far too beautiful.
