Never heard of melmac but as kids we did have a set of Melaware crockery. I remember it vividly; it made a deafening crack noise on the kitchen floor tiles if you dropped it but it never broke or so much as cracked. It was seemingly indestructible and I think my mum still has it and I’d be interested to know if forty + years has caused it to degrade at all.
Yeah we had these as kids - cereal bowls in 'mushroom'
They stained IIRC but my Mum had discovered that they could be cleaned with a smearing of toothpaste.
There was a smell of toothpaste forever after.
Mildly hated that with me Wheatabix.
