Corelle Table Ware

Turn the art of civilised camping up a notch with stylish dinnerware from Corelle.

The mugs are made from traditional sturdy stoneware, so none of that plastic taste to your tea. The plates and bowls, however, are created from Vitrelle, three layers of glass bonded together. This makes them lightweight as well as chip and break-resistant (although even they were not immune to the far-from-light-touch of one courier service and the first review set was returned in pieces).

In the groove

The brand was first introduced in the 1970s and the range of funky designs harks back to that era, making for retro statement pieces that will make you the talk of the campsite.

Even though the accompanying safety leaflet says the plates are not intended for camping, we don’t care – we’re prepared to take a little more care for such dramatic dinnerware.

And even when you’re back from your camping trip, it’s stylish enough to bring out at home.
