Assuming a family of four, and that the total costs of the ceramic plates is just in the plates (not the cup, saucer or bowl):
Paper: 220/4 = 55 meals. $17/55 = $0.30/meal Forever.
At that rate, the Pfaltzgraff pays for itself in 234 meals.
Less than a year, assuming we only eat one meal a day. Faster otherwise.
Capital depreciation of both paper and ceramic should, in healthy economies, be included in the price of each product - otherwise the manufacturers couldn't stay in business. But considering the Amazon economy, it's possible this is distorted with debt, and hence would require a very thorough analysis of costs from start to finish.
But in a world where economies are healthy, a simple price comparison would should ceramic to be a winner. Raw math says ceramic wins in energy costs (and that cost is including packing materials).
