Is this stoneware or the typical lightweight corelle ware?

It's the typical corelle material but it's modern in style. I love it! The cups are porcelain as are all the corelle cups.

It feels like stoneware. It is so very well made and the top fits beautifully. I love mine

I have owned corelle for years but never investigated the composition. I do know that they wear like iron, even when dropped. Occasionally they break but in 30 years I've only had one that landed just right and broke. The set I had for 30 years did start to delaminate around the edge but just a few. I am 5' 9" and the one that broke was dropped from about 5 feet and landed on a angle. It did not shatter as most dinnerware. I have owned ironstone in the past and just the slightest bump will chip a plate and they are heavy. I love corelle because they are thin and light, but strong as iron. Hope this helps.

The material is thicker than corelle, but not much heavier. The dishes look like stoneware, but are glazed to give a more polished finish.

These appear to be stoneware however, I would classify them as a very nice stoneware - almost china like but not. Hope that makes sense!

Stoneware. It is heavy duty. I like it. But, it weighs a lot, so if you were looking for something lightweight, this wouldn't be a good choice. I think it makes great coffee.

It is very nice every day China / stoneware . It's kind of inbetween , like a lighter weight stone wear , solid it not super heavy.

Corelleware is glass. It may chip but it is break & chip resistant.They are terrific plates 7 great for kids..Lightweight too. If you have not seen them visit any target or wal-mart and see them on display.

The dishes are stoneware so they aren't super smooth but I really don't find them bad. All the stoneware I've had have had a certain amount due to the firing they go through. I really love the dishes.

I have the Vanilla Rice set, and I think they are just right. Lighter than stoneware, but feel substantial in the hand. They are not fragile dishes. I have pretty serious Arthritis in my neck, shoulders, and hands, and I have no trouble with them.

You will like these. I felt same way....did not want any more heavy stoneware type.....did not like Corelle's light weight. These are right in the middle of that difference. We have had these about 6 months, very happy with quality.

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

I have been using mine for several months now and am very happy with them. They are not one those lightweight versions. This is the real deal good quality heavy flatware!

Stoneware. Not as heavy as our old 7 quart but perfect for us. Nice machine. Love the keep warm after cooking. Our old cooker did not have that operation.

It is stoneware. So it's like a heavy glazed pottery. But that may not be an exact definition of what stoneware is! :-)

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

They are actually fairly light, not heavy like stone wear. I love the dishes but the shape of the bowls are the only thing I really don't like - they have a large rim, so for salads they work fine but for soups etc they're not my favorite...
