Chunky, solid but not overly heavy.  Very nice!  Like other reviewers, I'm glad the bowls aren't too deep.  They fit nicely in the dishwaher and the style is easy to wash, easy on the eyes... a style that is basic enough to go with any decor but not at all cheap-looking.  Love this set, wish Wayfair & Royal Daulton would make individual pieces available for purchase!
