Further to my question about material, it seems every other site lists this as stoneware, but Amazon says bone china. What gives?

The Red Vanilla White Rice is Royal Bone China, Premium Collection. The Red Vanilla Black Rice seems to be more like microwaveable Stoneware. Theyre both very nice looking.

I have these dishes in black and unfortunately chipped a coffee mug. Now that I can "see" the inside, it is definitely stoneware, not bone china.

Red Vanilla does make both, but the imprint on mine said bone china... It is lighter and does not chip like stoneware does. I've had mine a few years and it is great!

I have the black ones. They are stoneware. I ordered from Amazon, and was extremely disappointed that they were not bone china. That said, a million trips through the dishwasher, and they still look brand new. Well made, but NOT bone china.

Hi Paula. These dishes are as lightweight as your typical dishes and they are not stoneware - not heavy. The looks you see is due to the color/glaze that is used to color the plates. I think the they are made of ceramic - or whatever the typical/breakable dishes are made of these days.

They seem to have worked very hard to not tell us where it's made. I searched everywhere I could think might tell me. It's really nice, attractive, durable, dishwasher safe, I have both the Black Rice set, and the square Premium Bone China set, and they inter-mix beautifully! I'm very proud to use them!

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".

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)

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.

Any serve ware etc. from this company (that I have received as gifts) is clearly stated "Made in China". I do not appreciate that; but the dishes are very pretty.

They're made of porcelain, but you can put them in the microwave. You'll need to be a little extra careful with them, though, as they seemed to chip more easily than stoneware. They're very beautiful in person, though.

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

It is porcelain. A little thinner than ceramic would be, but not as thin as bone china.

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.

This one is made in china, and to ask how it compares is hard to answer. I think that one would depend on the brand. Just like with tools, one brand to the next can have a huge difference in quality. I have seen some made in china that wear down extremely fast, and others that wear down very slowly. If you are familiar with brand name ones, I would say that this one is compatible to the King brand stones that are made in Japan. These are a good stone. My only problem with it is that is is made in china.

Hi! I had a simular problem when I purchased my lenox flatware-the same set in the photo. I also have the china-from what I was able to gather in my research-the china is eternity-with the gold band- and the flatware is eternity to distinguish between the two-Also contact Lenox company for further clarification. Hope this helps! Edmonia Thomas

This set was a gift to my son, and I'm pretty sure it's more CORELLE than melamin, but HEAVIER than Corelle - I guess Stoneware is a better description.

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

No it's not plastic. I't made out of some sort of ceramic or stone. I really don't know what it is but they have some weight to them.

I did not feel even as thin as my other bone china so I do not believe it is. I ordered it and returned it nearly the same week. It was nice for the price.
