Mid-Century Modern, Turquoise, stylized mums decorate all the plates in this very nice melamine -melmac 43-piece set from BROOKPARK – the plates are white, the bowls, and cups match the turquoise mums of this rare, hard to locate set. All the plate bottoms are stamped. (see photo for more information). Dinnerware made from melamine, a thermoset plastic material, (sometimes called Melmac) is highly collectible by those seeking Mid-Century modern accessories today. In our research, we were not able to locate another set of this design, only separate pieces, so we assume it is quite rare – as such, we feel we priced it very reasonably; we do not imply any expertise, but did quite a bit of research. The set was donated to our church rummage sale, and the pieces are almost all like-new; it looks like the previous owners may have only used a couple pieces of the entire set; those have tiny flatware marks. All proceeds will benefit Eaton Fire Victims in the Pasadena, CA area. Note: we are not professional sellers.
