This is a very nice set of dishes.  A nice off white color.  Perfect for my many colorful serving pieces I have obtained at art festivals.  They go with everything!  I'd say they are a medium light weight.  They fit easily in the dishwasher and my cabinets.   You can use them casually or a more formal
occasion.  I like the salad bowl.  I've used it for oatmeal, too, so while it isn't very deep, it isn't so flat that you can't put cereal in it unless you are a teenage boy eating half a box of cereal.  ha! ha!
