Yanco Woodland Collection

Nine of Woodland's twenty-four pieces are trays. That split says most of what the pattern is for: brown wood-look melamine bought as much for presentation as for covers. The other fifteen are six round dinner plates, four oval dinner plates and five bowls from a 1.8 oz sauce dish to a 45 oz salad bowl. Brown is the only color in the line, and every item is melamine.

What's in the Woodland line

Two round series, and ovals that stop being plates

The round plates come out of two numbering blocks that overlap. WL-104 through WL-111 are 4 3/4", 6", 8" and 11", all 1/2" to 5/8" deep; WL-1108 and WL-1110 are 8 1/4" and 10 1/4" at 3/4" deep. An 8" and an 8 1/4" sit a quarter inch apart in different series, as do the 10 1/4" and the 11", so choosing on diameter alone mixes two builds on one shelf. The ovals need reading the same way. At 10 1/4" x 6 1/2" the proportion is close to 3:2 and works as a cover; by 16" x 5 3/4" it is nearly three times as long as wide — a board for a shared plate, not a place setting.

Every pattern on this store is indexed in the full Yanco range. Among the melamine patterns, Nature Art is the much larger rustic option at 62 items, and Pine Tree the smaller one at 19. For quantities and case packs, write to sales@nishienterprise.com or call (732) 790-0199.
