While this wasn’t quite what I expected, I’m very pleased with the set. I had thought this were a lighter weight porcelain- like Correlle, but they are stoneware. However, the mugs heat my coffee water well without making the cup handle too hot, and the bowls are a good size. They look as nice as I hoped. Just a tad disappointed by the weight of the plates and bowls, but it’s my fault for not researching a bit more. Keeping them.
