Le Cadeaux Melamine is remarkable in appearance – most people think it is ceramic pottery until they drop it and it doesn't break. Extremely durable with beautiful motifs that are dishwasher safe. You can now have all the beauty and elegance of a formal dinner at your outdoor party or picnic. An excellent choice for casual indoor dining. Vibrant colors and patterns rival the appearance and quality of hand painted pottery from France. Not suitable for the microwave.
