Start with the material
Melamine and ceramic are different materials, so they should not be treated as interchangeable. Check the product description or manufacturer information for the exact material and construction.
Consider how the plates will be used
Think about where the plates will be used, who will handle them, how they will be cleaned and how they will be stored. The right choice depends on the product and the setting.
Check care and temperature guidance
Do not assume that a plate is microwave-safe, oven-safe or suitable for a particular temperature. Follow the care and use instructions for the specific product.
Compare the actual item
Before buying, compare diameter, shape, colour, weight, finish, set quantity and replacement availability where those details are supplied.
Product specifications and care instructions vary. Confirm details for the exact item before purchase.
