About Duraware
Duraware was a brand of melamine dinnerware produced in the mid-20th century, known for its durability and vibrant colours. Melamine, a type of plastic, became popular in the 1940s and 1950s as a lightweight, shatterproof alternative to traditional ceramic and porcelain tableware.
Care and Maintenance
To preserve the quality of your Duraware set:
-
Cleaning: Hand wash with mild detergent; avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface.
-
Usage: Refrain from using in microwave ovens, as melamine is not microwave-safe.
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
