  • History

    The first successful Melamine was made in 1937, being rationed for wartime manufacture. During World War II it was used by the Navy for use on the rough seas because it was unbreakable. Melamine bowls became popular in the 1950s and 1960s. They fell from popularity in the 1970s when polyethylene plastic, like Tupperware, was introduced. Recently, Melamine has made it's way back to store shelves, being marketed as a cheap, versatile and fun accessory for kitchens.
