There were many brands competing in this market. Oneida was manufactured in USA. This set is likely from the 1960's as Oneida was focusing on prints and children's pieces in the 1940's - 1950's.

In the 1950's, innovation, whether it was in automobiles, in homes or in fashion, was everywhere. It was precisely during this time that Americans began to set out meals on colorful, unbreakable and lightweight dishes called Melmac. This popular dishware appeared in many patterns and colors with appealing solid pastels, bright colors and distinctive patterns.

Perfect for your mid century dining needs (and you don't have to worry about breaking them!)
