Good Mood Kids Porcelain Tableware

Porcelain means no plastic touches food, which is exactly what you want for daily kids' meals. Durable and oven-safe. The decorative glaze is not independently lead-tested, so confidence is partial, but there is no plastic in the item.

1 / 10 Low plastic footprint $

Kids' cups, plates, and bowls made from solid-color porcelain, an inert ceramic with no plastic. Double-handle cups are sized for small hands, and pieces are dishwasher, microwave, and oven-safe to 350F.

About Uncommon Goods

Uncommon Goods is a curated marketplace founded in 1999 by David Bolotsky, a former Goldman Sachs retail analyst, and run from Brooklyn, New York. About half of what it sells is handmade by independent artists and artisans, frequently from recycled, reclaimed, or upcycled materials. It became a founding B Corporation in 2007, meaning it meets independent standards for how it treats workers, makers, and the environment, and has been named Best for the World in its community category in several years. The company is known for paying entry staff well above minimum wage and for a customer-directed giving program at checkout. As a retailer it curates rather than manufactures, so material disclosure varies by maker, which is reflected in the confidence rating on this card.
