With Oneida Twin Star silverware. I’m 53 and still have a few pieces from my parents set floating around for the nostalgia lol.
Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 2 weeks ago

Are those from the US? Never seen any of them. My sauerkraut got served on this badboy growing up:
ImageRothe@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Yeah, unfortunately even the fediverse suffers from a heavy dose of US defaultism.

I’ve got more people assuming I’m an American here than I ever did on Reddit. I think a specific of type of online leftists just assumes you’re from the US if you don’t agree with them, because of course there’s the countries they support and then there’s the US and nobody else lol
Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Honestly I don’t even notice it. Virtually every online space I’ve ever been a part of has been like this. Originally the Yanks never asked for everyone to learn English and use their platforms either so it’s kinda fair enough as far as I’m concerned.

I think delftware isn’t as popular in the US, which is unfortunate because I love how they look.
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Yea, Corelle is glass dish ware made in Corning, NY. The same place they make Pyrex and Gorilla Glass phone screens.

It was just a dominant brand of dishware in the U.S.
Corning, one of the world leaders in glass manufacturing and materials science, figured out how to make thin tempered glass that was lightweight, very durable, resistant to thermal shock, and safe to use in microwaves, dishwashers, and up to medium temperature ovens (350°F/175°C is the manufacturer recommended max). It became the dominant dishware brand in the U.S. as a result, for “everyday” use.
Personally I don’t like the heat transfer characteristics (poor insulator which means hot food makes the dish hot to the touch) and don’t mind thicker plates/bowls for most situations. But I can see why they became immensely popular, especially for families with kids.
Side note, Corning spun off its consumer products division in 1991, so the company that makes the Gorilla Glass in basically everyone’s cell phones is now technically different from the company that made all these kitchen dishes, even if they were once part of the same corporation.

None of the above.
ARABIA POTTERY, Finland. 1960s RUSKA
Absolutely indestructible. Drop it on the tiles, cracks the tiles.
You can have it in any colour, as long as it’s Brown.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Drop it on your foot, it breaks your foot, but the food remains intact!
Honytawk@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
Throw it in a volcano, the volcano erupts, but the plate is fine and the food is slightly warmer
vk6flab@lemmy.radio 2 weeks ago
Yup.
Turret3857@infosec.pub 2 weeks ago
just a PSA for those of you unaware; these plates up until 2004 contained lead paint. If you’re using these plates, uh. dont. Use them as decorations or get rid of them immediately.
Source (check the FAQ for the question about lead)
SpraynardKruger@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Came here to say this. I only recently found out and got rid of all my #7’s immediately. I don’t think I’ll accept hand-me-down plates anymore after that.
AA5B@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Do you have a different or specific source? I found an daqnabout lead but it only said that they are in compliance and always have been. I recognize the weasel word but only because you brought it up
Turret3857@infosec.pub 2 weeks ago
There are other sources but the reason I linked corelle directly is because they admit that pre-2000s plates have trace lead amounts. They use weasel wording sure, but it says it.
Are Corelle® products lead-free?
… Corelle was first introduced by Corning over 50 years ago and in 2000 started to be manufactured by the company known today as Instant Brands.
… Before 2000, and before tighter lead content safety regulations, a small amount of lead was an ingredient in the decorating process of many household products.
There are other sources, but most of them are websites ive never heard of. Figured corelle was the easiest source to link.

From India. I’m from a Buddhist region and here we use brass plates. the old ones can weigh more than half kg.

Patternless. Plain white. Which works well, because if you break a plate you don’t have to worry about whether they still make that pattern.

My folks still have 9. I have a set that’s just blank.

Did yours also get fucked up in the microwave but still used for food anyway? That thing’s gotta be at least 50% of the microplastics in my brain.

Herc and Megara went through college with me, moved back into my mom’s with me, through a couple apartments and into my first home before they finally split in half in the dishwasher.
