Is this set really ceramic, or just a good plastic look-alike such as melamine?

Its ceramic. Not familiar with melamine, but this is a really nice looking set.

Yes they are made of plastic, for a few dollars more you can get beautiful ceramic bowls from pier 1

Honestly, I can't tell. It doesn't look like plastic though. We've enjoyed it, it is very nice.

This set is a ceramic set with silverware. My daughter has taken very good care of it without any breakage of dishes. Our other children have enjoyed playing with this set and commented on how much nicer it is than a cheaper set we bought elsewhere.

No it's not plastic. I't made out of some sort of ceramic or stone. I really don't know what it is but they have some weight to them.

It's metal with two types of handles, one set is metal other set is ceramic.

It is plastic, but looks more like porcelain. Unless you pick it up and look closely at it, you would not be able to tell the difference.

Porcelain. The ones I have are definitely not plastic. Love them by the way.

It's not ceramic. It's made out of some kind of plastic. It definitely stands up to the heat of cooking though.

I'm not sure what the definition of "ceramic" is but these bowls are certainly a "ceramic-like" material. Very heavy. Nothing like plastic or metal.

they are pottery, not melamine. very nice dishes especially for the price. I have them in the white and aqua and they're make a pretty set. I had a couple of broken dishes but the vendor replaced them. the white ones came from Macys and no breakage with them

The miniatures in the set are all uniform, tan-colored plastic. I painted our set myself.

I have years using it and it doesn't look like ceramic, is glass, but you should ask to the manufacture not to a consumer. I believe glass is safer than metal and non stick materials.

It doesn't feel plastic, it has quite a bit of substance/weight to it. It looks and feels more like a plaster/ceramic.

I believe they are ceramic but I am not positive. Try looking on there website or contacting customer service.

I only have the travel set. However, the tiles are easy enough to handle and the colors and shapes are easy enough to tell apart. The travel tiles are painted wood, not plastic.
