Yanco BM-109CL Birmingham Melamine 8-1/2" x 1" Round Plate

Serve modern share plates, salads, and desserts with the Yanco Birmingham BM-109CL 8 1/2" round melamine plate. Built for busy food service, this break-resistant, scratch-resistant melamine dinnerware piece delivers the look of contemporary two-tone tableware (clay and black) with lightweight handling that works equally well for restaurant dining rooms, catering, and outdoor patio service.

Durable Melamine Construction for Commercial Use

This Birmingham series plate is made from lightweight melamine (commercial plastic dinnerware) designed to stand up to frequent handling, fast table turns, and repeated wash cycles. The rigid, thicker-profile feel helps reduce breakage compared with ceramic in high-traffic environments, while the scratch-resistant surface helps the plate maintain its presentation over time.

• Temperature resistance: Suitable for hot and cold food service; not recommended for microwave or oven use

Two-Tone Birmingham Design (Clay & Black) with Brushed Texture

The BM-109CL features a clay-and-black colorway that adds contrast to plated foods and complements both rustic and contemporary tabletop settings. The Birmingham collection’s brushed-texture look adds visual depth without overpowering your presentation, making it easy to pair with neutral linens, wood boards, and mixed-material serveware.
