I ordered these holiday accent plates so my young (3-6 year old) guests could have plates that matched my Lenox Christmas china. Looking at them side by side, the only noticeable difference is the band color - the real china has a gold band and the melamine has a green band. Using accent sized plates, especially melamine ones, works great for young children. These are light weight, kids can carry these themselves, and they hold the right amount of food for smaller appetites. I also love that melamine plates can go in the dishwasher.
