Does this plate say Corningware Tableware casual dining on the back? I am looking for a rather heavy Corningware plate to match my set.

no it does not. it says corningware "vitrelle" and something about not for stovetop or something something but nothing about "tableware". actually, it feels very thin and plasticky which i don't mind but yeah, not substantial.

No. It says "break and chip resistant CORELLE® VitrelleMade in USANo stovetop or broiler"They are light weight.

The backs of the plates are glazed a smooth plain white except for the actual rim of the base. (The bit which makes contact with the table.) That part is unglazed and feels slightly grainy.

I do believe it is, Peter. I've ordered this set twice and love it. The weight of each piece is nice in your hand and the silverware cleans well in the dishwasher. Because we entertain large groups of people, at times, I have extra pieces on hand when I need them. They set a lovely table.....

the pattern is the same, but the texture on the Chic Shabby set seems to be a bit more waffle-ish? it's still a great set and mine is wearing perfectly. Heavy weight...

The plates I ordered last fall were the darker color. They're actually a medium blue color with a swirl pattern and a brown rim around the plate. They're beautiful, well made dishes.

They do scratch over time. I've had mine over a year. However, they still appear black. So scratches do not go deep and they still look great on the dinner table. Salad plates do chip easily due to shape. I have replaced three of the eight I purchased so far.

I don't know what the Pottery Barn flatware looked like, but what I purchased is the same as the picture. It's very heavy flatware.

I got the stainless-look with the black bezel. It certainly doesn't look cheap to my eye. It goes with our kitchen decor; I like it a lot. I'm not as wild about the all black look. However, when placed in the corner, the front bezel is mostly what you see.

surprisingly no...I love mine. It looks fabulous on the table and your guests can see exactly what's in it ... furthermore being clear, it does not close in your buffet table decor . I am very happy with this purchase.

It should, yes! I bought this to replace one of mine that chipped. I have several square Corningware dishes and the kids are interchangeable, so this should work perfectly.

No....not really. It is more a cardboard material that they give you a bunch of nails to attach to the rest of the buffet. I put mine against the wall in my dining room so its ok. However, if I had people seeing the back it would probably give them impression that the buffet is kinda of cheap. Looks great from the front and sides, though! Hope this helps.

Hi Kathy, I don't find the dishes to be heavy. I had stoneware before that was very heavy but these seem to be the same weight as a normal dish....not as light as Corelle though. Hope this helps. Lisa

The trunks of the trees and the mugs are a dark brown. The mugs are not Corelle and so a bit heavier than the plates, however I have not had an issue using them. It is an enjoyable and pleasing set to me.

Yes, they feel heavy. Not as heavy as her stoneware but like a normal dinner plate.

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

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

I just looked at the P.B. website and their dark handled flatware is NOT the same. There is a very similar one on West Elm (owned but the same company as P.B.) but at more than 2x the cost.
