When at the Caravan Show last October we went past a stand selling Corelle tableware which is made from tempered glass and is advertised as break resistant and can be used in microwaves and is scratch proof. Our Melamine dinner set is a little tired these days being 16 years old and missing one side plate so we had a look. My credit card hid in the depths of my pocket once we had seen the prices!
Have since donned my deerstalker and investigated what alternatives exist. On Caravan Talk I came across a product called Oftast which is tempered glass tableware and sold by Ikea. The prices are very attractive ie 18 pieces for £9 (dinner plates, side and bowls). As Ikea have yet to venture across the border to the Kingdom of Cornwall I ordered online for delivery (£3.50)
Lo and behold they arrived today via DFD. I checked the box -no damage so excitedly opened it to find the contents well wrapped within box. Unwrapped first bundle and discovered 6 bowls perfect!. 2nd bundle 6 side plates perfect ! This is good I thought until I stated unwrapping the last bundle of dinner plates as I could hear this tinkle sound as I went. Sure enough top 3 plates came in self assembly form whereas the bottom 3 were pre-assembled.
They look good however but certainly not drop proof me suspects. Have informed Ikea and await their response.

we use a lightweight dinner set made from Luminarc, it's also made from toughened glass, if you have a Boyes hardware shop nearby you can buy them individuality.

It looks like we are creatures of [different] habit. We have used melamine since we started camping/trailer tenting back in about 1999. Our current set of plates has been in use since 2003 when our first Eriba was bought, along with some new bowls about 2011 when Eriba number 3 came along. It does its job perfectly but I'd never dream of using this at home where it's plain white for everything.
When away we drink out of glass and white mugs just as we do when at home, it just seems the correct thing to do.

we have some of those glass plates from IKEA. Seem ok to me. What we like about them is that they fit in the overhead lockers whereas the melamine plates we have tried are usually just a little too large.

Lets just say, I haven't broken one ... yet!

We have had IKEA glass crockery for two years without any breakage.Ikea Giltbrook were selling them off at 50p per plate/dish etc.We are well pleased with the quality.

We've been using the IKEA Oftast tempered glass crockery at home for well over a year and are very happy with it. Compact, easy to clean and fairly tough. At 50p per piece we've stocked up for our Eriba too, I don't mind the odd breakage at that price! Much nicer than melamine to eat off also.

I bought a set of bamboo plates and bowls when I bought my Eriba and they cheer me up whenever I use them. And they fit in the overhead lockers at the front.

Absolutely Colin. I like a bit of retro chic and think it suits the Eriba well.

That Orla Kiely & Missprint stuff looks great, are there any other designs I should be looking at?
