Product Description

Mikasa combines pleasing texture with a solid white finish to create an enduring classic, Italian Countryside dinnerware. Made of hard-wearing ironstone for everyday use, the dinnerware also exudes enough panache to serve brunch or dinner for a more formal gathering. Fine ribbing accentuates the plate borders, as well as the sides of the sugar bowl, creamer, and teacup, while a scrolling, bas-relief garland decoratively bands rims and edges. Glossy and handsome, Italian Countryside makes a fine gift, especially in this all-inclusive 45-piece set.

The eight place settings in the set include one of each of the following: an 11-1/8-inch dinner plate, 8-5/8-inch salad plate, rimmed 9-3/8-inch soup plate, 8-ounce teacup, and 6-1/2-inch saucer. Matching the place settings are four accessories: a 12-inch round platter, perfect for cakes, hors d'oeuvres, a roast chicken, and more; a round serving bowl for vegetables or potatoes; a sugar bowl with a handsome domed lid and oval filial; and a creamer with a gracefully pronounced spout. The sides of the sugar and creamer are fluted as well as ribbed. Conveniently safe for the microwave, dishwasher, freezer, and oven warming at low temperatures, Italian Countryside is exceptionally worry-free. As with most fine dinnerware, sudden temperature changes should be avoided to prevent breakage. --Ann Bieri

I love my new dinnerware set!
 
Review Date: October 21, 2005
Reviewer: Paula Teichman, Chandler, AZ USA
This was such a bargain at $199. Not only did I get the service for 8, I also got 5 serving pieces. The set of dinnerware arrived promptly....and the shipping was free. On top of that, I got another discount for spending a certain amount of money. It was a much better bargain than eBay!
One plate had a slight chip. Amazon was wonderful about compensating me for it with no hassles. Since I can buy more pieces to this set, I was easily able to replace the one plate locally with the money refunded to me. Amazon really stood behind the product. I was very well satisfied with the product and service from Amazon. Thanks!
Gorgeous and functional...

I was looking for a new casual china pattern in solid white and found Italian Countryside. Beautiful! The dishes are well made and classic; they're a good weight--not too heavy nor light and flimsy. The pattern can be dressed up for special occasions yet is perfect for everyday. I'm very pleased with the quality and as always, the great delivery by Amazon. Now the quest begins for additional pattern pieces!! It's great that Mikasa makes so many companion pieces in this pattern as well as open stock for replacement of broken or lost pieces.
Perfect!

I ordered the 45-piece place setting, it had to be the quickest turn around I have ever come across. Ordered on a Thursday, had it on a Monday! Everything was in perfect condition. I am so pleased with Amazon and the way they do business. I will buy from them again.
The dishes are beautiful, I couldn't be happier. Thank you!
Excellent Set of Dishes - Worth Every Penny.
 
Review Date: December 28, 2007
Reviewer: greensbeans,
My husband and I were looking for a decent set of dishes that didn't chip or burn our hands from microwave use. After going through a couple of sets of dishes that look great but didnt hold up to everyday use, we decided to "invest" in a set of dinnerware that not only looked great but would last. We have had these for about a year now and so far, no chips and no stains and STILL a pleasure to use. Prior to purchasing this Mikasa set we experimented with several different brands of dishes by testing them in the microwave. They were all made in China and not one of them passed the ouch-burn-the-fingers test, even the brandnamed ones. After a frustrating and dissapointing search we were very happy indeed to have come across this Mikasa. It may seem expensive but considering the sets we have trashed and were probably going to trash with the cheaper stuff, its money well spent indeed.
None of it broken

Because so many have complained of broken dishes, I'd like to report mine arrived completely intact.

I like the set, although the dinner plates are quite large, as is the fashion now.
