Are these lightweight compared to a ceramic or glass bowl?

Yes. Our 7 yr old can easily lift them out of the dishwasher and put them away.

yes, they are lighter than ceramic or glass. I just bought the martha stewart bowls that are even ligher and have lids

I would say they are lighter than ceramic or glass, but are a really sturdy plastic bowl that looks like glass. I love this set.

I think so. They can break if smashed but I will use them camping. As for lightweight, yes they are very light.

The bowls are Corelle ceramic - - about as safe as any glass product made. No lead, & BPA is a plastic and metal food can coating problem.

They are lightweight. I caution you on the shipping, I ordered 3 sets and 2 of them were broken, 1 set I keep as it was the small plate, the other set was broken to pieces. Good luck!

Don't know how to answer you. These are not heavy but they are not so light as to feel flimsy. These silverware is in between the 2. Heavy enough so that it won't bend easily but not so heavy that a child can use easily without any problems. My suggestion is to order a set and if you don't like them, return them. I ordered 2 sets because I loved the design, weight, quality and the price.

Hi there, I think they are stoneware- heavier and a little more durable than ceramic, but some folks refer to them as ceramic. I hope my answer helps!

They are not heavy but they are solid, not weak and flimsy. I especially like them because the bottom surface is smooth and does not scratch my glass stove top.

They're no different than any other ceramic bowls. Nothing out of the ordinary as far as them getting too hot. I LOVE these ... they're great for pasta, etc. I purchased two sets because I broke two and couldn't find anything else comparable.

Light as a feather. but one of the bowls I bought about two months ago has come apart at the seems and has a few cracks in it. No longer holds water. Not used much either.

The stainless version is lighter than the ceramic version, but even so, I think that they are probably both sufficiently heavy with water in them that kitty won't stand a chance at tipping them over.

Hi Tannis, I went to the Libbey website and they do not recommend putting these particular bowls in the oven. They are not Tempered Glass

no they are lightweight plastic and cannot handle microwave cooking... i have already thrown 2 of them away... would not buy again ... you are warned

I would not prefer since the surface is hot it may melt your container. I use only glass bowls.

These bowls are not as large as regular size mixing bowls and thay are light weight material and may dent very easy. 1 pint, 1 quart, 2 quart 3 quart

these are great, we love them and they are definitely not flimsy. not sure what you consider heavy weight however these are heavier than the bowl that come in corelle sets but not as heavy as stoneware. hope this helps! God bless you!

I guess you could say they are hard plastic...but they are very lightweight. I prefer a more sturdy bowl..these are too flimsy for me. Good for serving things, but not for mixing things with a beater

I think it's a matter of personal preference. This is pretty heavy grade stainless, not flimsy at all and sides are high and straighten. I would guess the ceramic is pretty heavy as well, but it could chip with time and handling, plus either would be even that much heavier w/water.
