The fluted, tinted design in aqua looks lovely on the table, much nicer than my old plain dish. The 8" square size is handy for brownies, small casseroles, and side dishes for two. The lid is the practical part I appreciate most, since I can bake, cover, and store leftovers in the same dish. Glass cleans up easily and doesn't hold onto smells. No complaints so far, just a good everyday baking dish that also happens to look nice.
