University of Virginia Melamine Oval Plate

Game day plates take a beating — and the Magnolia Lane University of Virginia Melamine Oval Plate is built to take it without flinching. Whether you're running a full tailgate spread or just loading up a plate of wings before kickoff, this UVA fan plate holds up to the kind of casual, high-traffic use that would chip or crack ordinary ceramic. It's officially licensed, so the Cavalier colors and marks are the real deal, and it reads clearly as the kind of thing a genuine Virginia fan would actually own — not a novelty you stash in a cabinet.

Melamine makes sense here for a few reasons. It's lighter than stoneware, doesn't shatter when it slides off the counter, and looks sharp enough to bring to the table rather than hide behind a stack of paper plates. If your game day crew skews toward people who take the Cavaliers seriously, this is the plate that matches the energy without making anyone feel like they're eating off a souvenir.

• Officially licensed University of Virginia design with authentic UVA colors and marks
• Durable melamine construction — shatter-resistant and significantly lighter than ceramic or stoneware
• Oval shape offers a generous serving surface, practical for entrees, sides, or a full game day plate
• Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup after entertaining
• Designed for both indoor and outdoor use — works equally well at a backyard cookout or around the dining table
• Vibrant, fade-resistant graphics that hold up through repeated use and washing

Caring for your Magnolia Lane UVA melamine oval plate is straightforward: it's dishwasher safe, so it can go straight into the rack after the game. Avoid the microwave — melamine isn't designed for microwave use and can warp or degrade with direct heat exposure. Skip abrasive scrubbers as well; a soft cloth or standard dishwasher cycle keeps the University of Virginia graphics looking clean and sharp season after season.
