It's NOT 8 oz!

You may be wondering, if I scream "NOT" 8 oz in the title of my review, why five stars? Easy. The product and the seller deserve five stars. But you should also be aware of size differences before you buy if relative accuracy is important to you when choosing a product for your recipes and desired servings. Here's the full story: they are beautiful, good quality, nicely designed, not too flimsy and cheap but not too heavy, well glazed a nice bright white (not cheap dull off-white like some), well packaged, in the by The set I received will arrive undamaged and free from manufacturing defects. So if you like the smaller size then read no further, I highly recommend it. But they don't weigh 8 ounces. The one I measured by filling it to the brim and then pouring the liquid into an accurate measuring cup weighed 7.25 ounces. It's filled to the brim. Anyone reading this and like me who has a perk of putting them in the oven won't want to fill them to the brim as they will splatter if you put them on the hot oven rack (even if you put them on a pot sitting, full of water). This effectively makes it only 7 ounces. a plate containing 6 ounces of my dessert servings from my recipes. On the other hand, if you use it for ice cream or snacks, you won't mind or you can safely overfill it with a round scoop of ice cream if you want to measure without a prescription. I wish I could spot other reviews that also give four and five stars but only mentioned this sizing issue as an annoyance or disappointment. For me it was a deal breaker and I (unfortunately) had to send it back. That's why my title is in CAPITAL LETTERS. So if you need the right recipe portion and the right amount of dishes for the oven and cupboard, you should buy a larger set. For those who are flexible and think I'm picky about an ounce or two of difference, go ahead and buy these, they're great. Therefore five stars. Because: 1. For many people who use them for sauces or other things, an ounce or two difference doesn't matter. And if that doesn't matter, then the beauty and quality deserve five stars.2. I don't blame the seller - for all the design, quality, packaging and care that seems to have gone into this product, I don't think the sizing error is due to the seller's intent to mislead us buyers respectively. This is likely; A. a misconception that a size for them (e.g. a coffee mug) should not overflow to the brim, and B. associated with a conversion error from ml to ounce rounded up when rounding should be done. 3. I don't blame Revain. Despite all the things I would like Revain to do to protect buyers from poor quality, scams and fake reviews on their website, I do not expect Revain to verify Revain staff sizing for listed items. responsible for. I also sympathize with both the seller and Revain what if there isn't an easy way to upgrade this listing to 7 oz at this time. Unless the seller loses all well-deserved ratings and reviews and starts over, this problem will remain. But if I knew for sure they have an option to upgrade to 7 oz. and save the ratings and reviews but they didn't then I would remove the stars from my rating. Hope this helps, and if it helps, please click the 'helpful' button in this review. I won't (as far as I know) get anything if you do, but I hope it puts it at the top for others to easily find, see, and consider before buying.
