I’m a fan of Danish Rice DK melamine dishes, and this small, cute shop in downtown San Carlos is an American (at least West Coast) distributor. Rice DK melamine is fantastic for kids, but they also have pretty (mostly feminine) adult patterns too. Plates, bowls (including rice bowls), cups, forks, spoons, etc. Very high quality, and popular in Europ. It doesn’t come cheap, but it’s good, Danish quality. The brand is so hard to find in the US so I was very pleased to find this shop in the Bay Area. Go to their website and call the owners in advance to see when they will be at their storefront. They are often at their warehouse but are very accommodating and will work with you to find a time to meet you at their store.

Wow! This store pretty much carries the entire line of Rice melamine products from cups, plates, bowls, kids trays, utensils to cake stands. I’ve been looking for dishware safe, light weight cups to use at my house parties and their selection really fit the bill for me! I was able to get 23 cups, each in a different color and/​or print. Very lovely designs and I’m hoping these will last years for me.
