Enamelware is having a major moment—and it's not hard to see why. The vintage-esque pieces are colorful enough for your coolest friend's dinner table, while their knock-around durability makes them just as suitable for picnics and camping trips. In short, they're beautiful and functional, which is a winning combination in our book!
Below, we've compiled a list of our absolute favorite enamel pieces, from spunky, speckled colanders and hand-dipped mugs to double-glazed camping sets and whimsical floral dinner plates.
Here, the best enamelware.

Brighten up your dining room table in no time with this richly saturated set from Bornn. With a marbleized swirl of green and blue, it'll instantly elevate all your meals, even making accidentally burnt bits look pretty!
Each swirled set is unique thanks to the fact that every piece is hand marbled and dipped in enamel. Since Bornn's set is made from heavy gauge steel, every piece—it comes with salad plate, dinner plate, bowl, and mug—is dishwasher safe and heat resistant up to 518 degrees.

If you're going to get one enamelware set (and finally toss all those mismatched melamine plates you’ve been hanging onto since college), invest in a collection that's durable, timeless, and neutral enough to match your existing serveware. You'll find all of that—and more!—in Golden Rabbit's clean and crisp dinnerware.
With a sturdy carbon steel interior, a hand-dipped nonstick finish, and oven- and stovetop-safe build, these pieces were built to last. You can choose from a set of four mugs, bowls, or dinner plates, but we wouldn't blame you if you nabbed them all.

Many consider Le Creuset to be a kitchen staple and we're inclined to agree. The brand's enameled cast-iron cookware is as classic as it is versatile, after all. The easy-to-clean interior of each piece is made to resist stains, scratches, and regular wear and tear, while their cast-iron construction is known for its steady and even heat retention.
This particular Le Creuset collection boasts all of the essentials, including a 10-inch fry pan, a lidded saucepan, and a round Dutch oven. The set is available in five colors from neutral meringue to bold lapis.
Golden Rabbit 2-Quart Colander

There's no reason why a colander can't be just as pretty as the rest of your kitchenware, and this Golden Rabbit option says just as much. The splatter-painted colander is available in three saturated hues and it might even end up the star of your cookware collection.
While we could talk all day about the colander's gorgeous design, don't think that's because it lacks any function. The hand-dipped piece is coated in enamel and fired at an exceptionally high heat which leaves it with a durable, non-porous surface that's dishwasher, oven, and stovetop safe (up to 600 degrees). It's also quite sizable and can handle 2 full quarts of pasta so go ahead, get your meal prep on.

Just imagine: You're cuddling up with your sweetheart around a campfire, mugs in hand and full to the brim with yummy hot chocolate and gooey marshmallows. Not to bring you back to reality, but this four-piece mug set couldn't be more suited to our imaginary situation.
Bornn's Swirl mugs are crafted from heavy-gauge steel and hand-dipped in enamel, making them both dishwasher and oven safe. And that dripping, saturated blue hue? It comes courtesy of a traditional marbling technique that results in each piece being wholly unique.
Dansk Kobenstyle Large Baker
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/DANSKBaker-3a88bcca074845d3b7cde610af57f641.jpg)
Looking for a dish that's as pleasing as your homemade dessert? Consider this teal, fifties-style bakeware from Kobenstyle. The 16-inch dish is constructed from durable steel and coated in easy-to-clean enamel, so it's a breeze to care for.
Our favorite part of the design? Two branched ergonomic handles which are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also extremely comfortable to hold.
Golden Rabbit Enamel Nested Prep & Mixing Bowls with Lids (Set of 3)

These stunning nesting bowls pull double duty offering plenty of room for meal prep and storage. Once you're ready to store leftovers in the fridge, simply cover with the included lid and your food is taken care of.
The bowls make for great serving pieces, too—especially during the holidays as you can simply carry leftovers from the table to the fridge without hunting down tupperware and creating more of a mess. The three-piece set isn't hurting when it comes to construction, either. With porcelain enamel coating over carbon steel and a stainless steel trim, these bowls are built to last.

Falcon Enamelware is iconic for its timeless, porcelain-coated wares. And while their dinner and serving dishes are definitely all worth checking out, we have to shout out this five-piece collection in particular.
