Popular Melamine Dinnerware

Tableware made from melamine resin, a type of plastic, first became popular in the 1950s and ’60s due to its colorful style and inexpensive price. But back then, melamine was subject to staining and scratching, so it gradually fell out of favor.

Today, melamine’s back! That’s because modern Melamine Dishes are much more durable—difficult to scratch and break during regular use.
