This set is not reviewed by many at Amazon, but those that did give Casual Collections high marks. Most of this bakeware receive 4 to 5 stars, with the most reviewed item faring slightly worse at 3 1/2 stars. One reviewer who gives the 3-piece bowl set 3 stars was expecting something entirely different," The bowls are nice and heavy duty but I was expecting them to be like the plates...light...not stoneware. It would have been nice to know that it was stoneware before I ordered it because I needed it to be lightweight since I have a hard time lifting things. I think the description should make it clearer that these bowls are made out of stoneware not the other stuff."
Half the reviewers are far happier, and give this particular 3-piece bowl set five stars, as one said, "What an excellent set of bowls! Beautiful serving bowls, heavyweight stoneware, will coordinate with anything - ARRIVED IN PERFECT CONDITION. And the price is unbelievable!! Wish I had found these before I spent 4x as much on Pottery Barn's Great White Coupe Serving Bowl set! Another great buy!"
An item no longer sold directly by CorningWare's website, terracotta 7 inch ramekins, receives five stars from its single reviewer, "I ordered two of these and find them quite useful. I store leftovers, which keep very well. The tight fitting cover helps maintain freshness. Also, they can be used to heat up what is stored in them. This item is an absolute necessity for our kitchen. Highly recommended."
Overall, there are not a lot of reviewers of this product line, and very few vessels are available, but those who bought CorningWare's Casual Collections bakeware are by and large extremely satisfied.
