Before you book that trip to the Mediterranean, save a few bucks and bring the Mediterranean to you first. Sure your own backyard may not be as gorgeous as an Italian vista, but you can definitely get a similar vibe with one of these dinnerware sets from Walmart. Inspired by Italian pottery motifs, these shatterproof plates will add a pop of color to your summer dinner parties and will maybe (just maybe!) make you feel like you went abroad for the night.
The Zak Designs 12-Piece Dinnerware Set looks like heirloom quality dishware but is actually made from dishwasher-safe melamine. Each $40 set comes with a service for four that includes a salad plate, a dinner plate, and a bowl, all of which feature unique and colorful floral patterns.

“I have looked for a while for something safe for my grandkids to use without breaking them,” one Walmart shopper wrote. “These are so pretty and just what I wanted. These are dishwasher-safe, which is a big plus for me. I love my purchase!! THANKS!!”
The Pioneer Woman also has a set of shatterproof plates that will bring a bit of floral flair to your outdoor dinners. The Folk Geo printed plate set also comes with service for four and features Ree Drummond’s iconic teal and pink colorway. Again, these plates are dishwasher-safe, BPA-free, and totally shatterproof.

“These are a really cute floral pattern that I love,” one reviewer said. “They’re perfect for eating outdoors, or in our RV when traveling. Melamine is not microwaveable so keep that in mind. I’m impressed with this dinnerware. Using it will be fun. I recommend this set.”
Another bright and cheery set is the Elama Stapanya 12-Piece Dinnerware Set from Walmart. These plates and bowls feature a stellar blue, yellow, and orange floral pattern that make these pieces look like they were purchased in a gift shop along the Italian coast. You can pick up the set for just $28.
