Amazon.com Review
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 What's in the Box

Serving accessories consist of: 12-inch round platter; round vegetable serving bowl; sugar bowl and lid; creamer. 45 pieces total.

For many years I used "hand-me-downs" from the family. It is wonderful to pick what I really wanted. The set is very elegant and I am proud to put it in front of my guests. It was very well packaged, but UPS dropped it off on my porch when I was not home and I had to drag it into my house. At my age (78) that was very hard. You might consider dividing this set over two boxes.
Anyway, I am thrilled with it !

The Mikasa Italian Countryside dishes arrived very quickly. There wasn't a chip or a flaw on any piece. They are great.

Purchased this set over 4 years ago and have used daily without quality control, shipping, chipping, absorbing, or discoloring problems. In fact, my husband loads up the dishes in the evening in our dishwasher willy-nilly. Last year I purchased Mikasa Italian Countryside 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 to add to my set as we were hosting a family stay (including children) for an extended period of time and I didn't want to be constantly loading/unloading the dishwasher. I still receive compliments on the dinnerware. One of the features I really like in this dinnerware is the versatility when setting the table. You can use a wide variety of tablecloths, placemats, floral pieces etc and pull it off without a problem. Although creamy white the edge of the pieces have enough detail to be interesting without being fussy. I have brought a number of complementary pieces without problems.

I have been looking for a nice set of dinnerware for some time. I had seen this set before and liked it a lot. I love the off white because it works for any decor and any season, just change the tablecloth and accesories. The design is very delicate and elegant.
I found this at a great price in Amazon and ordered 2 sets. The shipping was FREE and they were delivered really fast and in perfect condition.

Do not buy these dishes the bowels are not sealed. They will absorb water instantly. The bowels will become a brownish tan which will not match the set.
