Dinner at Grams' house

Plasticized melamine plates are kind of tacky today. But they were kind of cool in the 70s.

These are the plates my grandmother used every day...

Details for you antique freaks: these were Melmac Beverly by Prolon. We got rid of most of the set when my grandmother passed away in 1997. I kept this plate, and looking at it makes me wish we'd kept the whole set, which included small red bowls and mugs. I couldn't find details on this particular pattern, which I think probably goes back to the 50s.
