picnicware

Basket dining supplies

Picnicware is tableware and utensils designed for outdoor dining—plates, cups, cutlery, and containers meant for picnics.

The term emphasizes portability and durability: We packed the picnicware in the basket.

Items are typically lightweight, unbreakable, and often disposable or easy to clean.
