Is the silverware heavy and thick? Need something that could stand up to digging ice cream out of a carton without bending.

It is NOT strong enough to dig out ice cream that is frozen HARD. I use it to get ice cream from the carton but mine isn't frozen completely solid. Hope this helps.

They aren't too bad. I think they are decent I bought 2 sets to have new silverware, but in other comments about them rusting is true if you leave them wet in a sink or such.... otherwise pretty happy with themAs far as the ice cream I am not sure i always blast my ice cream in the microwave for 30 secs or so so it is a lil softer or let it sit out... + I have different spoons for that

I would call it medium heavy. The soup or serving spoon would probably be OK for the ice cream. I have seen heavier at more money, but this is definitely not super light. (I guess my husband uses it to dig in the ice cr4am.

it is heavy enough, but the handle ends are sharp and hurt the palm of my hand, I use others.

It is not so cumbersome that it feels heavy when using the pieces, but, yes, they are a heavier set. I have not had any bending with any of the pieces. They are still beautiful after many months of every day use. I love them, and will order another set soon.

I just looked up your china pattern. I think it would look lovely together! These have only the little butterfly stamped on the 'bowl' of the spoons and forks, and on the handle of the knife... the rest is little flower patterns. Be aware that these are big and heavy. I feel like that makes them a better quality... spoons don't bend when scooping ice cream! I had an IKEA set before, and the smaller spoon in the Portmeirion set is almost as big as the soup spoon from the Ikea set. I'm so accustomed to them now, that the IKEA set seems like plastic-ware size.

It is pretty sturdy. We don't make deep dish but it is well made. I don't think you will have a problem.

Has a nice heavy (thick, less likely to warp) bottom. This does not make it a heavy pot.

Yes,they are thick and yes, they are heavy. I wanted something that would go in the microwave and also that I could use for letting bread dough rise. They are fine for that, but rather heavy for an old lady 84 years old. They are nice looking and have an old fashioned look as if they belonged to my grandmother. If I dropped one, it would break, but it is still better than a metal one which I don't like for raising bread dough.

They aren't the flimsiest ones I've purchased, nor are they the sturdiest. I've had mine for a couple years & none have broken. One does "skip" when I use it on thick cookie dough, but otherwise it works fine. If you are buying these with the intent to use to scoop ice cream or thicker/tougher types of cookie doughs, I'd maybe suggest going with another brand; however, if your intent is to use for cake batters or mailable doughs, they are a good purchase for the money.

They are not big, bulky stoneware...probably medium weight. We purchased them for a rental property and they hold up very well. My only complaint is they eventually get black scratches on the plates from forks and knives.

They are very sturdy. As to the ice cream test, it would probably depend on how frozen the ice cream is.

This flatware is made in China. It is very heavy and solid (can scoop ice cream easily without bending). The dinner forks are very big, 8.25 inches in length. We use the salad/dessert forks as dinner forks. It is very nice quality, though, and washes well in the dishwasher. I would definitely buy it again.

Not too heavy. I think it would be great for the aprons. Stiff but not hard. Hope that answers your question.

Good question! The bottom has a type of sturdy corrugated plastic flooring. I don't know how heavy your eater is. Also consider the length of the handle and whether it can be removed when storing.

I have tools and some very heavy items in mine and it works great. This is one of the best items I have purchased for my garage workshop. I'm sure that your heavy silverware will not be a problem

Yes, they are, as a set, heavy. The individual bowls are fairly thick and durable but not unusually heavy. I've dropped a couple and no breakage. Very solid.

I wouldn't call them heavy. They have the weight of stone wear. They aren't particularly light either. If you need a lightweight dish a thin China or corelle brand dishes may be best

Correct. This is a very heavy and sturdy set. No worries about tipping it over. The top handle inserts down into the center and you can see the top rim sets flat against the opposing glass (cake stand).

It is metal - hollow, not solid - I have pots and pans on the bottom and potato's and onion's in the middle, breads etc in the top basket and misc. in the in the middle basket - I have canisters etc on the tile top. It's pretty sturdy, not sure how heavy you can go with the baskets, but I would say a fare amount. I also have some utensils in the drawer. I'm real happy with it.
