Not necessarily! Bone china and porcelain are usually safe for both, but
delicate gold-rimmed or hand-painted pieces should be hand-washed. Stoneware
and melamine are sturdy but check for microwave safety some may crack under
high heat. Always read the care instructions before use!
If you love a clean, timeless look, white or neutral dinnerware is versatile and goes with everything. If you want to make meals feel more special, textured, patterned, or colorful plates add personality. Darker tones like navy or matte black create a dramatic, modern vibe, while floral or nature-inspired designs bring a refreshing touch to the table
Go for melamine, bamboo, or break-resistant stoneware. Melamine is
lightweight, nearly unbreakable, and perfect for outdoor or kid-friendly
dining. If you want a more ceramic feel, stoneware with a chip-resistant glaze
is a great alternative. Avoid delicate porcelain or anything too heavy for
little hands!
