Pros:

- Good size; holds a fair amount of oil and feels good in your hand
- Doesn't leak or drip onto counter (see cons for more about this)
- Has a cap to go on stopper so oil stays fresher
- Attractive; nice design
- Glass thicker than cheaper models

Cons:

- The spout is rather cheap and the opening is larger than normal. I hate to use the word "cheap" but for $50 you would expect something nicer.
- I'm constantly cleaning it! I have about 6 other oil bottles (all different) and this one is always messy. While the design does prevent oil from dripping onto the counter, it drips inside the top section, and the top of the silicone stopper is always a mess. What's more, when you pour out olive oil, the stopper does a great job of staying in place, and not leaking the oil, but oil gets caught between the glass & the stopper... Since the whole thing is glass, you can always see a wet ring between the stopper & the glass. This probably isn't a big deal to most, but as I am a neat freak, I always feel like i have to clean it.

Overall, I am very happy with this, and I do love to see & use it, but I feel that the price of this should be closer to $30 than $50.

Pros:
* Comfortable to use
* Fairly attractive

Cons:
* The glass is a bit thin
* Expensive / you need to pay for these carafes individually (they do not come in a set)

We were looking for oil and vinegar carafes for approximately one year: many carafes either had a flimsy cap, had no cap, were ugly, or were too small. We saw this item and decided to take a gamble (it's always difficult to purchase something without first seeing it in-person).

The carafe functions well and is a decent size. I would give the item five stars if the price were cheaper and the glass were a bit thicker.
