They do have a shine too them. I would not call them a matte finish. I compared them to my MIKASA Italian Countryside and they have about the same shine. If I had to say... Thomson is a tiny tiny bit more. But I had to really look. Hope this helps

They are not matte...I would say slightly shine. I wouldn't call it high-gloss (IMO).

The shimmer ones are pretty shimmery, the high gloss are only glossy for a little while. Think "99 cent" store. It's not terrible, but you'll have a crap load of colors you don't need. Just buy your favorite colors in quality form. That's my humble advice.

The ones I received were matte and worked perfectly! Ordered them almost 2 years ago and back to order more!

Shiny. Treat them carefully, as they do get scratched. But they are heavy and feel great in your hand. Best I ever owned, and I'm 60. 3-dimensional, not flat like most ware. If you don't lose them should last forever.

They are matte or at least non-reflective. I use them in a room with a fair amount of ambient light with no trouble at all.

It has a matte finish. Not shiny. I believe you can polish it to shine though.

Most of the surface is shiny. If you look closely you will see just on the left side of the design (handles) is a brushed or satin finish with shiny backside. They are of good quality, nice solid feel and look great! I will be ordering another set of 8. Hope this helps.

There is a matte black, and a black/dark gray with shimmer, and a not quite as dark gray with shimmer - I havent used them so I dont know how they look on

They're matte. Also, they're plastic looking so they look cheap. Hope this helps.

I'm looking at them, and I'd say they are plated. Way too shiny. A magnet DOES stick to them, also.

matte but they do seem as if there is a very minimal amount of gloss on them hardly noticeable

It is not shiney, it is like a matte finish, very nice I thought. I am very impressed with them.

Just installed one and it is more of a matte finish. It is not shiney at all. I think it's very sharp looking, but more of a dull black with a slightly rough texture.

Hi Sherry - I can't exactly answer your questions, but I can tell you they look like a sleek, matte metal. I've had them for over a year and there's not a single mark on any of them and they look much more expensive than they are.

More matte. Technically, it is called satin nickel. Definitely not shiny or chrome.

They are glass and very shiney I was worried they would be plastic like, but they are very shiney and glass. I have a very decorative living room and I am very proud to have them in there. I dont think you will be sorry. They exceeded my expectation.
