Amazon's description says "by Waterford" and "fine bone china" while an answered question below says made of stoneware. Which are correct?

I'm not sure that it is stoneware, but it certainly is heavier than bone china. They have a sturdy look and feel.

It is stoneware, but it is quite nice and durable. I am very happy with the pasta bowls.

I would not call this "fine bone china". I am using it as a daily set of dishes. It is made by Royal Doulton and it is Stoneware, definitely not China

I'm pretty sure its either porcelain or ceramic. When I bought this one plate came already broken but otherwise they're beautiful.

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 do not know exactly but relative to stoneware or regular china it is very very light!

The cups are stamped "Stoneware" and "made in China." I didn't want the stoneware cups, either, but that's what came with the set. As it turns out, they are fine. They microwave well, and really hold the heat. They also clean well.

Yes... By CorningWare... Stoneware... Is sturdy for everyday use. Not white-white, tho.More of a creamy white. Am happy with purchase.

It is fine white porcelain. Porcelain, or fine china, is baked at a high temperature to make a strong surface that is similar to glass. Not only is it non-porous and easy to maintain, porcelain is also microwave- and dishwasher-friendly.

It is a high fire ceramic similar to porcelain. It is not stone. It is porous.

It is English Bone China Which I understand is made in England. It is beautiful and we love it, I don't think the picture does it justice.

They're made of porcelain, but you can put them in the microwave. You'll need to be a little extra careful with them, though, as they seemed to chip more easily than stoneware. They're very beautiful in person, though.

I gave the bowls as gifts in December so do not have them with me now. I believe that they were stoneware. They were very nice - all recipients have been very pleased with them. Highly recommended!

The bottom says "fine china." I actually think the pieces are rather heavy.

The Red Vanilla White Rice is Royal Bone China, Premium Collection. The Red Vanilla Black Rice seems to be more like microwaveable Stoneware. Theyre both very nice looking.

You know, it doesn't say. It's says it's made by Lorenzo. I checked on their site but still cannot see it. I've included the site if you want to contact them to see if this is imported or made here. http://www.lorenzoimport.com/lorenzo/index.html But I LOVE my dishes! And the company was great to work with when I received two broken tea cups. They sent two new ones out really quickly!

I have the black ones. They are stoneware. I ordered from Amazon, and was extremely disappointed that they were not bone china. That said, a million trips through the dishwasher, and they still look brand new. Well made, but NOT bone china.

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

Stoneware, with a porcelain coating. Very durable, we have had them for almost a year and absolutely no chips or cracks!
