Is this set corelle or melamin material.

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

It is neither. It is heavy. It is not plastic, it is not corelle. It is kinda like stoneware.

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.

I would consider it polyester and the filling feels like very small beads. They are smooth and you just wipe them clean. I looked on the box and it doesn't have what the specific material is.

They are not quite as thin as corelle, but they are not far off. I would say that they are a tiny bit thicker with just a little more weight to them. They are definitely closer to corelle than the heavier stoneware on the market.

Looking at the picture here, I noticed that my set isn't as dark as the pictures. I'm not sure if they've faded (I don't think fading is common with Corelle...?) I'd say the cherries/flowers are light red to dark pink. Not an orange-y coral. I agree with the other responder - I love my set!

I have owned corelle for years but never investigated the composition. I do know that they wear like iron, even when dropped. Occasionally they break but in 30 years I've only had one that landed just right and broke. The set I had for 30 years did start to delaminate around the edge but just a few. I am 5' 9" and the one that broke was dropped from about 5 feet and landed on a angle. It did not shatter as most dinnerware. I have owned ironstone in the past and just the slightest bump will chip a plate and they are heavy. I love corelle because they are thin and light, but strong as iron. Hope this helps.

My answer would be a definite YES. Corelle is well made and has stood the test of time for several of my family and friends. They have been dropped and nothing happened to them. Whereas some of the other dinnerware out there that is "heavier" got chips or broke large chunks off when dropped. I love mine and it is all I will use.

I'm not sure of the material it is made of. We sent our set back because it looked nothing like the picture. The company was great with accepting returns.

This is a Corelle Livingware plate, so it made out of the same rugged material their whole line is made of. Tougher than crockery.

i,M NOT SURE OF THE MATERIAL. iT IS strong, LIGHT WEIGHT, AND APPEARS VERY DURABLE. I am pleased with it.

I've only had them a short time, but they've been great so far. I've got an older set of Corelle and they have the same feel and weight.

Probably not quite as thin as Corelle, but very thin. You can see shapes through it if you hold it to the light. It's much classier than Corelle.

It's definitely heavier than corelle, but not as heavy as fiesta. I love these dishes, and they feel high quality and long-lasting. They're very modern and classic, if that makes sense. I highly recommend!

I'm not sure, they are at our winter cabin, but I think they are 10 !/4, which is the same as my other Corelle. I'm really pleased with them, they are beautiful.

Its ceramic. Not familiar with melamine, but this is a really nice looking set.

They are much heavier than Corelle. Very strong and durable. I have been very pleased with mine. I've had them for over a year.

Hello! The metal is a very dark brown with a satin finish. Altho they mix & match dining sets these days, your particular taste will determine if you want a mismatch in the metals. Hope this helps. I welcome additional inquiries if needed...Anastasia

Heavy and light are pretty relative terms. The dishes are stoneware -- not fine china. Each individual plate is not particularly heavy, but a stack of 8 requires two hands. They are NOT as heavy as, say, Yorktown. These dishes are about the thickness of melamine plates and a little thicker than Corelle but not as thick as Fiesta ware.
