They are only offered in orange here, so never heard of a champagne set.

 I love this champagne set.  I remember them from last year & no doubt will be ordering them before the sun goes down tonight!

Pretty, BornToShop.  I don't remember seeing the little ones before, so thought this year was the first time presented.  I may have just passed them over as I like orange pumpkins. Smiley Happy

Re: H205784 - VPH Mercury glass pumpkins

I bought these last year, and was glad I had ordered several sets, because it took that many to get one good set. they were very poorly 'painted' and easy to see through to the inner workings. Same thing happened to me with the pine cones. I was only able to put together one good set of each, and by good, I don't mean anywhere near perfect. 

 

I like the pine cones better than the pumpkins, and I use them longer. From fall, clear through winter. 

 

Sounds like they got the quality up some this year, as people seem to be getting nice ones.

@Mominohio  Hi, I also bought these last year and had the most problems with the brown pinecones.  They were painted almost solid, no light could show through to speak of.  But, I have a friend who loved them so she took those and most of the others went back.  I'm happy to see that people are getting good ones but I don't think I'll reorder.  I still have a few pinecones in the gold that lights fine.

I forgot to ask if anyone has ordered and received the artichokes?  I am really liking them and looks like they could even be used for Christmas with the color  of them.  TIA

Bumping up Lucy's question, if anyone has the artichokes. I like the artichokes too.

Mine were perfect.  Everyone loves them.  Cute with my witches from Country Door.
