These are great soup spoons. They have a nice weight to them, feel very sturdy. Exactly the right size for soup. I also like the gold color. I had to take off a star though because of a quality issue - there's a small rough spot on one of the spoons, and I'm going to be able to feel it with my lips if I eat with that spoon, so essentially there's one spoon I can't use. Otherwise they're terrific.
