"It's melamine!" we say, every time a chic mom swoops in to shoo her toddler away from these in the shop, "it's fine, we promise!" Because the truth is that each of these pieces is so pretty and delicate that you'd never know it's not ceramic until you pick it up.  They're finished on all sides for a more polished look, and entirely BPA- and filler-free for safe everyday use. And they can go through the dishwasher! (Just not the microwave; you can't have it all.) So whether you have small children, raucous dinner guests, or just shaky hands of your own, these are a beautiful way to serve.
