Yanco Sesame Collection

Bring warm, earthy character to your tabletop with the Yanco Sesame Collection, a versatile line of commercial-grade two-tone melamine dinnerware featuring a refined tan finish with a distinctive sesame seed–style pattern. Built for restaurants, diners, country clubs, cafés, family-style restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, banquet halls, catering operations, breakfast houses, summer camps, ski lodges, and foodservice facilities of every kind, this warm two-tone pattern delivers inviting, comforting presentation that customers recognize and respond to — while standing up to the rigors of high-volume daily service.

Crafted from heavy-duty commercial melamine, the Yanco Sesame Collection offers the polished look of ceramic chinaware combined with the practical benefits of professional-grade melamine. Every piece is chip-resistant, scratch-resistant, break-resistant, lightweight, dishwasher-safe, and stackable for compact storage, dramatically reducing replacement costs and labor compared to porcelain dinnerware. The signature tan two-tone finish creates a warm, hand-crafted aesthetic that brings rustic charm to any tabletop — perfect for breakfast service, brunch, casual American dining, country club menus, and farm-to-table concepts.

With 19 pieces, the Sesame Collection is a complete diner-and-country-restaurant program with one of the most extensive oval platter lineups in the Yanco melamine catalog — six sizes covering everything from individual plate presentations to oversized 16" family-style platters.

Round Plates. The Sesame round plate lineup covers every course with traditional diner-style shapes. Choose from the Yanco SS-106 Round Bread Plate (6.25") for bread, butter, and small appetizer service, the Yanco SS-107 Round Dinner Plate (7.25") for salads, lunch service, and side dishes, the Yanco SS-109 Round Dinner Plate (9") for standard entrée service, and the full-size Yanco SS-110 Round Dinner Plate (10") for hearty main courses and oversized plated presentations.

Oval Platters — One of the Most Complete Lineups in the Catalog. A standout feature of the Sesame Collection is the six-size oval platter lineup, giving operators the perfect platter for every plate-up — from compact appetizer presentations to dramatic family-style entrées. Choose from the Yanco SS-209 Oval Platter (9.5" x 7.25") for individual entrées and appetizer service, the Yanco SS-211 Oval Platter (11.5" x 8") for standard entrée service, the Yanco SS-212 Oval Platter (12" x 9") for hearty plated mains, the Yanco SS-214 Oval Platter (14" x 10") for shared appetizers and large entrées, and the dramatic oversized Yanco SS-216 Oval Platter (16" x 12") for family-style entrées, holiday turkey service, BBQ presentations, charcuterie boards, and catered displays. For deeper platter presentations with raised walls, the Yanco SS-221 Oval Platter (11.5" x 8" x 0.75") and Yanco SS-222 Deep Oval Platter (12" x 9" x 1") deliver added depth for sauced dishes and entrées.

Bowls — Soup, Salad, Nappie & Fruit. For soup, salad, breakfast service, and small-format dishes, the Sesame bowl lineup is purpose-built for traditional diner and family-restaurant service. The generous Yanco SS-507 Rim Soup Bowl (32 oz) delivers full soup, chili, and stew presentations with the classic wide-rim diner profile, while the Yanco SS-307 Salad Bowl (14 oz) and smaller Yanco SS-306 Salad Bowl (10 oz) handle plated salads, side dishes, and starter courses.

For breakfast service, cereal, oatmeal, and traditional diner-style portions, the Yanco SS-314 Nappie Bowl (11 oz) is a workhorse, while the Yanco SS-305 Fruit Bowl (3.5 oz) handles portion-controlled sides — perfect for diner breakfast platters, fruit cups, applesauce, cottage cheese, and small accompaniments. For broth and traditional cup-soup service, the Yanco SS-302 Bouillon Cup (8 oz) rounds out the bowl program.

Beverage Service — Coffee & Soup Mugs. Round out your service program with the Sesame mug lineup. The Yanco SS-908 Two-Tone Coffee/Tea Mug (8 oz) is the heart of any diner program — perfect for coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate, and bottomless-coffee service. For chili, hearty soups, beef stew, and traditional diner-style soup mug service, the larger Yanco NC-9014C Sesame Chocolate Soup Mug (12 oz) delivers wider, shorter walls ideal for chunky soups, French onion soup, beef chili, clam chowder, mac-and-cheese, and other diner-style soup specialties.

Whether you're outfitting a classic American diner, family-style country restaurant, ski lodge, summer camp dining hall, cafeteria, breakfast house, brunch concept, or any operation where warm, comforting, recognizable pattern is part of the brand identity, the Yanco Sesame Collection delivers timeless, restaurant-quality presentation that customers recognize and remember — at a price point that protects your bottom line from costly breakage. The tan two-tone pattern is especially popular for breakfast and brunch programs, country-style restaurants, farm-to-table concepts, and seasonal fall and harvest service, where the warm, earthy tones bring instant rustic charm to any tabletop.
