What is the approximate weight of one bowl? I have a very frail senior that prefers lightweight bowls.

these are very light weight. probably 8 ounces. They are plastic. I would think they would work well for a senior. My major complaint is that grease is very hard to remove. If you were to put spaghetti or a tomato based soup or something in these, its very hard to scrub out.

Not real heavy. They are a good set of dishes. So far I've had no problems with them and they are beautiful!!!!

Don't know the exact weight but it is light enough for 1 grownup to handle fairly easily

I would say more lightweight- I am surprised how much I like them. Not overly expensive but seem to be the right sizes for mixes and recipes. I have some stoneware bowls that weigh a ton- these are easy to manage.

I just stuck it on my kitchen scale. I came up with 67 1/2 oz which would make it about 4 lbs. It doesn't feel like 4 lbs but then, I lift pots all the time. It is pretty substantial. Not flimsy.

I can't tell you exactly because I have no way of weighing them, however I did compare them to a 5 lb. bag of flour, and they are not much heavier. I would estimate them at between 5 and 10 lbs. I am over 65 and I can easily pick one up with one hand. Hope that helps...If you're asking how much weight they can hold, I have no idea - Jake's answer should be helpful here! I can tell you they are well made so I believe what he says!

I can't tell you the pounds, but I am a 79-year old woman and I can lift it without too much effort. It's not feather-weight but not god-awful, either.

Hi cella, bowl plastic with rubber nonslip base, I haven't measured weight, easy to carry one handed, dishwasher fine, not microwave Colin s

Compared to several other uprights I've had, it's fairly lightweight. According to my scales (I actually weighed it!), it's about 16 pounds. It's pretty easy for this senior female to maneuver on carpet or bare floors. I've had one for several years and just purchased this second one...one for upstairs, one for downstairs. They were both easy to assemble without tools or assistance.

No, they are not heavy at all. They have the rubber bottom which is good for the most part. I sometimes like to turn my bowl while I mix and you can't do that with the rubber bottom. Other than that, I LOVE them!

Lynn, there are two sizes of bowls. One is a small dessert or soup bowl and holds about 8 ounces (with a little splash room). What is advertised as a SALAD bowl, as I recall - holds at least 48 ounces. I should have read the reviews - I ordered them and returned them - I do have three but I use them as SERVING bowls. Unless you like GIGANTIC personal salads. I clicked on the link under the photo at left - and it is definitely the smaller bowl. 24 is a lot - but we use them for everything and really love this glassware - very durable and lovely.

I don't have a scale for small weights, but the plates are substantial. I'm 70 and in pretty good shape, and find them manageable. BTW, I like this set very much!

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.

It is so lightweight I had to weigh it on my food scale. It comes in a just a hair under 1 lb.

I've never actually weighed it but it is very light so 1 lb. probably is at least close if not right on.

I would guess at least 32 fl oz... However, I returned the bowl because it wasn't quite what I was looking for. It's a bit flimsier than I'd expected.
