Are they stoneware or porcelain?

I really dont know, they are very strong, and i still love them. They have been microwaved, dishwashered, frozen with ice cream, and are still white and nonstained like the first day i received them a year ago now. They were a great buy!

They are not as heavy as our Fiestaware, nor are they as durable. They are lighter than most stoneware-tupe sets I have owned in the past. They are beautiful.

A glazed kind of porcelain. It is not completely non-stick, but a little spray release works well.

they have a matt finish not porcelain. I am happy with their construction and cooking results.

I bought them as a gift for a friend who LOVES cooking. From what I can remember, they were ceramic. My friend loves them.She says they seal well and seem durable

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

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

Not according to the reviews on here. They are porcelain-coated steel. At least two folks complained about that. Just read all the reviews.

Hello, PaulaThe dishes are not stoneware. They're some type of pottery (not sure exactly what). I'd say they're medium weight, very similar to Fiesta Ware. In fact, I bought them b/c they reminded me of knock-off Fiesta Ware. We've had them about six months. So far, they've worked out very well. No issues in the dishwasher or microwave.Hope that helps.wf

Stoneware. Nice bowl but I wish it had a rim on it, easier to pick up off the floor.

Yes Karen, they are pottery. Unfortunately a bowl came broken which I was hopeful would not happen, but not surprised given the reviews. I also bought a white/ivory set from another distributor and it came in perfect shape. Hope this helps!

Hi: I am really not an expert but I do have some basic knowledge through my own personal research over the years due to my own awareness of what materials I am cooking my food in. Stoneware is simply a clay type of material and completely safe. Ceramic has a different type of finish. Stoneware is more clay type base but both of those are great to cook in. There are no safety standards based on my research. Actually it is highly recommended.

probably porcelain or ceramics. I'm not sure exactly. Because they are made in Japan, I don't think they contain any heavy metal.

Porcelain. The ones I have are definitely not plastic. Love them by the way.
