Is this really Fiesta ware, or a fake? I ordered 8 plates and they are slightly different and heavier than my real Fiestware.

This is the real deal. I don't know if it's legal to even sell anything that claims to be Fiestaware and not be the real thing

I'm no expert on Fiestaware, but the new ones seem bigger and heavier than the Fiestaware I've seen in antique shops. I own several of these and their marks match the authentic marks I've found online. Although I think they differ depending on the decade they were made. This website has more info. http://jeanbakula.hubpages.com/hub/Fiestaware-by-Homer-Laughlin-China

It is but it is newer fiestawear. I had the same problem. It is stamped on the bottom however Bauer no longer makes the line it is Thomas Houghlin. It definitely doesn't have the value of trad Bauer fiestawear. I stopped buying it. Hope this helped

Yes, they are heavier than most other dishes. More durable and beutiful too! I've had mine nearly a year now, and not a single chip or nick.

The plates are clay stoneware. They are not your typical heavy stoneware, but are microwaveable. The outside of the dishes are not colored but are a natural beige color. The insides are painted only.

They are heavy. Not at all like Corelle. Less than Fiestaware though. I hope this is helpful.

As I understand it all Fiestaware is made in the USA. China refers to the coating on this earthenware. Just like your grandmother fine dinnerware it has a porcelain coating.

I do not know if the plates are heavy, as I bought them last year for a Christmas present for my daughter who lives out of town. She told me when she recieved them that the set is gorgeous, commented the colors were beautiful and a little more vibrant than pictured on Amazon. She loved the set so much that she got rid of all her old glassware and dishes and bought everything that would compliment this set. I think you should refer to things of RR that you can see in stores. Everything I have seen of Rachael's in the stores, her stuff is substantial, but not too heavy. My daughter made no comments about too heavy or too light, so, I think the set is likey good there.

This comes as a set of 16 as pictured, 4 large dinner plates, 4 salad/desert plates, 4 bowls and 4 mugs. I also ordered another set of bowls that I had seen with another design on them that matched the set, but were extra. I do like them also, but they are very shallow. I love my set and ordered 2 so I would have a set of 8 place settings. I am very happy with them.

Yes. It's authentic Legos for sure. Was just expecting the plates to be a bit thicker.

I'm not sure I can completely answer your question, but we have a set of these and love them. They are a great conversation piece anytime we use them with friends and family. Ours arrived in a box that appeared very legitimate, but I'm not sure if they're a knock-off or not. I know I've been really happy with them over the past 6 months and none of them have broken and we use them multiple times per week.

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!

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.

We received two sets of these knives. The first set were the original ones from France. Excellent quality and a nice balanced weight. Beautiful engraving and the bee. The box was the one with the hinged lid. Ordered the other to add to the first from the same place and they were definitely fake. Nothing marched the picture. Amazon stood behind the rider but we sadly don't have the ones that match. I would order and make sure they match the picture. The second ones were in a box with a slide on kid and they were lighter weight. They had Netherlands stamped all over the box. I would give it a shot you will not be disappointed.

I will answer on Sunday when I get back from vacation. The set is great except the interior pattern on the smaller plates looks like the plate is not clean and we feel we have to explain to guests that is only the pattern. You should be able to see the pattern larger on the ad for selling it. I think this pattern is unique because the pattern I described will be a turn off for many. BT

My dishes came from a company in Florida(Bealls). I ordered them a couple of years ago. They were very well packed and not one dish was broken or cracked. I'm sorry your experience was different, as they are lovely dishes.

It seems to me that the one I bought from Amazon was a real one and you should be able to tell from the quality and its weights.

It is random swirls and blobs so there is no guarantee that among the plates you order (assuming more than 1 plate) you won't get a plate with a "pattern" that you don't like. Because it's not a pattern. I have some plates where there are no blobs at all, only blue swirls. I think if you are looking for something predictable these may not be the plates for you. I have the dinner plates, cups, dessert plates and bowls and love them. But I like the variability of the color across them.
