Yanco NA-214BK Nature Art Melamine 14" x 9-3/4" x 1/2" Oval Plate

Serve shareable appetizers, plated entrees, and buffet selections with the Yanco NA-214BK Nature Art Melamine Oval Plate. This break-resistant melamine oval platter-style plate measures 14" x 9 3/4" x 1/2", making it a smart choice for commercial food service, catering, and busy dining rooms where you want the look of upscale tableware with lighter handling and lower replacement risk.

Durable Melamine Construction for Food Service

Made from melamine, this piece is built for repeat service and everyday volume. Its break-resistant construction helps reduce downtime and replacement costs compared to traditional china, while the low-profile 1/2" height keeps it easy to carry and pass. Melamine is designed for hot or cold presentation, but it is not recommended for microwave, ovens, or direct high-heat applications.

Nature Art Design & Rustic Colorway

The black and brown palette and Nature Art styling bring a warm, organic look to modern or rustic tabletops. A subtly raised rim helps frame food and supports cleaner presentation for sauces, composed dishes, and shared plates. The finish is easy to wipe down between courses, helping this piece stay guest-ready for restaurant dinnerware programs.
