How heavy are these dishes? Are they like stoneware or lighter?

They're very thin and very light. Feel almost delicate, but dont seem to be.

The white ones are very thin, but the Black Rice set is thicker. I bought both sets and mix them for an interesting dinner setting.

They are a hard plastic, probably like melamine. I use them mostly when I want to heat leftovers in the microwave. I wouldn't replace my everyday stoneware dishes with them, but they are very handy for heating leftovers.

Hi Paula. These dishes are as lightweight as your typical dishes and they are not stoneware - not heavy. The looks you see is due to the color/glaze that is used to color the plates. I think the they are made of ceramic - or whatever the typical/breakable dishes are made of these days.

Light but not as light as Corelle but lighter than a set of dishes I had before. The weight is nice though - I love these dishes. They are sturdy but delicate, if that makes sense. The plate is lighter than the Lenox china that I have.

The are a heavy but properly weighted set of everyday flatware. They have a solid back.

IMO it is not as thin or light as Corelle, but is certainly thinner and lighter than stoneware. It is just what I expected for a set of China.

I don't know the weight but they are heavy. Needed lighter weight and chose Corelleware and really like them.

They're not particularly lightweight but I wouldn't say they are unusually heavy. To me, they're just the same heaviness of your average larger-sized mug. They're not any weightier than the other mugs in my cupboard.

Hello! I purchased mine ages ago, and still going strong. They are quite thick but not heavy. Have come in great use at our house.

They are certainly not too heavy, but not lightweight like plastic either.....I think they are perfect, but they do probably give the look of delicacy a little. My mother-in-law had some other Johnson Brother dinnerware that was extremely durable, so I am hoping for the same with the Devon Cottage pieces! Hope this helps!

They are not too heavy, about your typical nonstick cookware weight. My mom owns these and she doesn't have any problems with them being too heavy to handle. I hope this helps!

The plates are clay stoneware. They are not your typical heavy stoneware, but are microwaveable. The outside of the dishes are not colored but are a natural beige color. The insides are painted only.

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!

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.

Hello!they are not to heavy in my opinion and i'm really weak lol. They are definitely good quality and they aren't too light to feel cheap but not too heavy that is hard to manipulate them while cooking or doing dishes. I hope it helps!

The plates are a good weight. They are not light. I have had a lot of compliments on them.

Not heavy at all. Light and cheap feeling. Don't be surprised if they arrive in pieces at your doorstep. That's what happened to my two orders of these dishes.
