Why did you choose melamine over a stoneware, porcelain or ceramic material for the plate?
The melamine follows along with the Original Pass-it -on Plate idea. Melamine is a low cost product and we wanted to keep the prayer plates at a reasonable price so many could join in Prayer and Giving with us. The melamine is less likely to chip and break due to its durability. Also, we offer a lifetime guarantee to replace any damaged plate so The Giving Plate, may continue to be passed on and prayers shared via the internet.
