Yanco BM-711CL Birmingham Two-Tone Melamine Dessert Plate / Wide-Rim Bowl Plate (16 oz) delivers the upscale look of modern tableware with the day-to-day durability foodservice needs. Made from break-resistant melamine in a clay-and-black two-tone finish, this 11 1/2" presentation plate is designed for plated desserts, small entrées, and sauced dishes where a wide rim and deep well keep portions centered and clean.

Durable Melamine Construction for Commercial Service

Built from scratch-resistant melamine, this lightweight restaurant dinnerware stands up to frequent handling in busy dining rooms, cafeterias, and catering operations. Melamine resists shattering compared to ceramic china, helping reduce replacement costs for high-turn environments and outdoor dining. It is dishwasher safe for fast resets and consistent sanitation (not intended for microwave, oven, or direct-heat use).

Modern Birmingham Design: Clay & Black with a Brushed Texture

The Birmingham collection styling pairs a warm clay-toned interior with a contrasting black exterior for a contemporary, two-tone look that elevates dessert and appetizer presentation. A subtle brushed texture and wide-rim profile create a handcrafted visual while still performing like practical, low-maintenance melamine tableware.
