Moon plates are made from several materials, most commonly stoneware, tempered or opal glass, and molded fiber.
Set sizes vary: examples include 16-piece dinnerware services (for four people), sets of six dessert plates, novelty packs of eight, and single individual plates.
Durability notes include tempered opal glass described as resistant to thermal shock, breakage, chipping, and dishwasher wear. Some items are described as shock-resistant due to special treatments, and product descriptions and reviews report generally good quality and expected durability for several offerings.
Decorative finishes include embossed and scalloped detailing on stoneware and printed leaf motifs on opal glass. Descriptions also reference decorating techniques that produce brilliant, long-lasting colors.
Novelty rocket-style moon plates are aimed at children (suggested ages 3–9 years) and are described as suitable for space-themed party decorations.
Opal glass dessert plates are listed at about 7.87 inches in diameter and 0.63 inches in height, with a reported weight of about 0.69 lbs for a 7.9-inch plate.
