Yanco BM-209CL Birmingham Melamine 9-5/8" x 6" x 1" Deep Oval Plate

Yanco BM-209CL Birmingham Melamine Deep Oval Plate delivers the upscale look of modern tableware with the day-to-day durability foodservice needs. Made from break-resistant melamine in a warm clay-and-black color palette, this 9 5/8" x 6" plate features a 1" deep profile that helps keep sauces, dressings, and composed dishes neatly contained—ideal for restaurant dinnerware, catering, and busy commercial dining rooms.

Durable Melamine Construction for Food Service

Crafted from commercial-grade melamine, this oval plate is built for high-turn environments where chip-resistant, break-resistant dinnerware matters. The rigid, substantial feel and scratch-resistant surface help maintain a clean presentation through repeated service, stacking, and warewashing. It is dishwasher safe for efficient cleanup and is intended for hot and cold foods in indoor or outdoor dining settings. Not microwave safe and not recommended for oven, broiler, or direct-heat applications.

Modern Birmingham Design & Presentation

The Birmingham collection’s earthy clay tone paired with black accents adds contrast that frames food beautifully—especially vibrant produce, proteins, and sauces. A smooth, non-porous finish with a subtle sheen supports a polished tabletop look while staying practical for commercial dinnerware programs that demand consistent plating and fast resets.
