I ordered melamine dish sets in yellow to coordinate with serving bowls and platters from an existing multi-colored set of pottery dishes. I wanted to use the pottery serving pieces, but didn't want to use the heavy pottery plates, salad plates and bowls for an upcoming buffet style party that I'm planning. Neither did I want to use plastic dishes. These melamine dishes are the perfect compromise. They coordinate beautifully with my pottery set, look ceramic but are as light as a feather. The crackle finish really enhances the authentic look. I could not be more pleased. Ordering from Wayfair is such a positive experience. I received my order in three or four days, everything was meticulously wrapped, and of course, there was no shipping fee.
