Do the dishes have glazed feet. In other words, are the bottoms rough or are they smooth and glazed?

There is a rim around the bottom that the dishes sit on which is not glazed and seems rough. I would not use these dishes on a surface that you would be concerned about getting scratched. I've been using this set on placemats only.

The bottoms are rough which was a disappoint, but they did stay in place when placed on a plastic tray.

I have several stoneware products all from Pampered Chef. However there is no real difference or advantage of glazed or un-glazed they all cook wonderfully if treated right. I do prefer the glazed as I can display these as a serving dish

Absolutely, they are. We use them as our everyday dishes, and even with 2 young children, we love them. We put them in the dishwasher every time we use them with no issues. We got our original, partial set 11 years ago and they still look new. We recently upgraded to this set to have a complete place setting. The only thing they don't hold up to is dropping. lol. Well worth the investment.

My dishes feel lightweight and hollow like cheaper pottery. I am careful with them. I see chips on my canisters, that aren't moved. They are attractive, but small scale, and not of good quality. They are painted on the insides only.

I just looked at mine and the plates, salad plates and bowls are all glazed. The mugs/cups are glazed on the bottom except for the ring where the mug will touch a surface is not. I expect that is probably so that it will grip the surface better and be less likely to slip and spill. A coaster would be sufficient to protect any table surface, but the exposed bisque is quite fine grained. I really wouldn't worry about it. I have not seen any scratching on my table tops and I ordered 4 sets in April.

The interior bottom is glazed and otherwise it is clay. I am very satisfied and have used it at least 50 times.

The dishes are ceramic. I have seven sets of them for entertaining. I can't tell you how much I love them! I use hot pads when taking them out of the microwave.

It is not glazed, however it cleans well and holds water well. Our birds love it. It is prettier in person than in the picture.

Neither, they're porcelain. I like the not too thick not too thin feel of them. They're very stylish and yet they are durable. I love them!

everything that I have used them on is pottery .it is not smooth on the bottom. they are porous . they are fine. I think they do very well. make sure you get the correct weight and size for you bowl.make sure they are wet enough, and you wait long enough for them to be firm. I have a large plate over my stove.it has been there for several months.i have used it on many pieces of pottery.

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

The plates are smooth. They are about 1" deep from base of plate to outside edge. Someone might have called that a "ridge" to indicate the plates are not perfectly flat.

they're made of glass and are very good quality. I have put them in the dishwasher many a time and they have come out looking lovely. Very happy with these plates.

They are heavy. I would compare them to stoneware vs. corelle. So far, we have had no trouble, whatsoever, with our dishes. There was some trouble with shipping, a plate or something broke, but they did not hesitate to replace our order. We do use the dishwasher on our set; we have had no chipping thus far. We are completely satisfied with our order of these dishes. Thanks for asking.Ben Graff

They are flat on the bottom. They do have ridges that go up into the pan/pot, but that doesn't affect anything.

Yes, they are. I have another set that looks the same (and same brand) that I bought at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and those dishes are even heavier. The set from Amazon is not as heavy, but still heavier than many dishes. I love them though, they are very durable and look beautiful even after 12 years of daily use.

They are very smooth. However, they are light weight and a little smaller than a regular dinner fork. If you don't mind that, these are a great buy.
