It's not very big (I did measure it before buying, but it's different when you see or hold it), but it fits in my hand snugly and holds just the right amount of drink (basically half a cup). The speckles and the unevenness of color just makes it more unique, I love it. The picture is good but it gives off a much warmer and elegant vibe in person. I recommend washing it by hand as it seems to require a different amount of rinse aid in the dishwasher than the rest (everything else was dry but this was yucky) or rinsing it once more. I don't really mind because the shape makes it easy to wash. I rate 5 because I love using it.
