The melamine children's tableware is beautifully white, and is easily matched with other tableware. The dishware consists of three parts: Mug, bowl and low saucer. Numerous small, wonderful details of the dishes keep the little bit of interest throughout the meal. The melamine items should not be placed in the microwave, so hand washing is recommended. When used properly, melamine containers are safe and long-lasting - delightful, affordable, light and handy at home and on the go!
