I gave the bowls as gifts in December so do not have them with me now. I believe that they were stoneware. They were very nice - all recipients have been very pleased with them. Highly recommended!

They are made in China. Be warned though, it is not stoneware but ceramic coated with enamel. But still a great product! A great buy!

"borosilicate glass": Simax, Borcam, Borosil, Suprax, Kimax, Pyrex, Endural, Schott, Refmex. in use since 1893, this is cheap and standard for cookware. you could not make this out of "non-borosilicate glass"

They are ceramic. The packaging labels them as stoneware. Additionally, they are dishwasher and microwave safe and also stated to be leadfree.

I'm not concerned about the material. It feels and looks like what you would expect from stoneware. If you think about ceramic bowls with the handle that some restaurants use to serve French Onion Soup, you'll understand why it is non-stick. Stoneware is basically a ceramic (i.e., earthenware) that is fired at a much higher temperature. So, it is suitable for use in a microwave (all ceramics cannot be put in a microwave). Get yourself a set...you won't regret it!

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 Thompson Pottery which I found good reviews. It is made of durable & chip resistant stoneware and not heavy at all. Feels more like a fine China plate and stacks so nicely. Hope this helps.

China. It was a gift for a good friend and she loved it. It may not be fine bone china from England, but it is lovely.

Heavy and light are pretty relative terms. The dishes are stoneware -- not fine china. Each individual plate is not particularly heavy, but a stack of 8 requires two hands. They are NOT as heavy as, say, Yorktown. These dishes are about the thickness of melamine plates and a little thicker than Corelle but not as thick as Fiesta ware.

It is the same as the dinnerware. It is fine textured with a heavy glaze inside and out. I have used mine for several years, cleaning it in the dishwasher. It is not fine china, but very good.

I had to find out through much research that the only LC products made in France are the enamel over cast iron pans, which are the only pans I have ever used as they are without equal. However, the LC stainless steel pans and the LC stoneware is made in China, and I never purchase any cookware, or any items used for food, from China. You just cannot trust China to create any products that do not use poisonous toxins. Their reputation precedes them!

Hamilton Beach advertised this product as being Stoneware. My research shows "American Stoneware was valued as not only a durable, decorative houseware but as a safer alternative to lead-glazed earthenware pottery produced in America before and during its production there." You should present that question directly to the manufacturer to be sure.

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.

Generally there are two common types of honing stones, aluminum oxide and silicon carbide. If you have a more specific reason for asking I will try to help with a more detailed answer.
