This set says it is made of stoneware and Macys site says it is made of porcelein, which is it? Light like porcelein or heaviy like stoneware?

I might add that our local Macy's has a similar one by Mikasa but it is a lot lighter and not the same set as I have.

Heavy like stonewear. I love this set tried cheaper versions nothing compared.

The set is stoneware. Pretty heavy duty as I am rough on dishes haven't broken one yet!

It doesn't say on it but it isn't as heavy as stone wear nor as as light as porcelan. I bought my first set like this thirty years ago. It was getting some chips and scratches so I wanted this pattern again. The insignia on the back is slightly different but the set is really nice and wearing well so far even when my husband loads or unloads the dishwasher! I think you would like this fine.

It is very dark grey slate stone. It is a beautiful piece, I love it. I was like a kid on Christmas when I opened it...I had to put all of my different salts, oils, & vinegars on it right away. It does come with all of the accessories for serving cheese & such. In my opinion, this is a steal at this price.

Clay, I am not sure. I saw a set that looked identical at Lowes, I think we got a better price on Amazon for it though. Its not super heavy but its not cheap and thin either. If someone wanted to break into it, I think they could without much effort, if that is your concern. Its holding up very well, ours get a lot of use and they are in our garage which is open in the humidity all day long. We're happy with them for the price, it was a good value. And delivered to our door, that was the best!

Sorry for the delay in answering, but I had to check the item. Yes, the one I purchased is Ohio Stoneware and not a flaw in it (no bubbles or cracks)

Neither. It's wood. Don't know where people are getting the idea that it's stone from. It's wood with a laminate faux marble pattern and a thick clear coat sealant over the laminate. It's definitely heavy, but it is not stone. Way too light to be stone. EDIT: Even according to Coaster Furniture's website it's "faux stone" and the composition is "wood veneers & solids".

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.

It is stoneware. So it's like a heavy glazed pottery. But that may not be an exact definition of what stoneware is! :-)

IMO it is not as thin or light as Corelle, but is certainly thinner and lighter than stoneware. It is just what I expected for a set of China.

I sent the dishes directly to the bride, so I never saw them. However, I believe they are stoneware rather than melamine type material.

Don't know how to answer you. These are not heavy but they are not so light as to feel flimsy. These silverware is in between the 2. Heavy enough so that it won't bend easily but not so heavy that a child can use easily without any problems. My suggestion is to order a set and if you don't like them, return them. I ordered 2 sets because I loved the design, weight, quality and the price.

I have the Shamrock mug made by fiesta sold on Amazon. They come in standard colors, but you can not go by the photos online because the colors are not always represented accurately. I would say the green is darker than what is shown on the Macy site. It might be good for you to go to a local store which sells them so you can see the color for yourself. Amazon sometimes has good deals or sales that can be cheaper at times than the local store--but for color you may wish to view it at the store---OR you could purchase a mug by itself to see what the color is and if you like it buy a set.

These appear to be stoneware however, I would classify them as a very nice stoneware - almost china like but not. Hope that makes sense!

Not stoneware. Beautiful setting, sturdy and lovely dinnerware. You will be happy with it.

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!

I'm no expert on Fiestaware, but the new ones seem bigger and heavier than the Fiestaware I've seen in antique shops. I own several of these and their marks match the authentic marks I've found online. Although I think they differ depending on the decade they were made. This website has more info. http://jeanbakula.hubpages.com/hub/Fiestaware-by-Homer-Laughlin-China

I think they are lighter than most stoneware on the market. We have been very happy with these so far. Very durable and no problems in the dish washer.
