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

 Perfect after 9 years November 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have had Mikasa Italian Countryside dinnerware for over 9 years now, and just realized that every piece is still intact and looks as good as new, even though I use it as my every-day dishes.
I recently dropped one of the mugs onto the floor from chest height, and it didn't break, not even a chip!
I paid full price for my set, and it has been worth every penny. You can't go wrong-its perfect for everyday as well as special occations.
Great Dishes September 14, 2008
After obsessing over what dishes to buy for over a year, I bought these dishes a couple of months ago. These are great dishes, practical and beautiful! They do not get hot in the microwave. They are tough, and do not chip or break easily, and clean easily. They are a nice weight, not super light, not heavy. They arrived via Amazon in perfect condition. They make everyday food feel special. I highly recommend them!
Beautiful dishes but problem in shipping September 4, 2008
My set arrived yesterday and look beautiful. Clearly, too soon to know how durable the set will be. Like another reviewer below, two plates arrived in pieces (I suspect the breakage was the fault of the manufacturer since the shipping carton showed zero evidence of being mishandled). I called Amazon customer service and there was no problem with getting a partial refund. The refund offered covered the cost of replacement. Amazon wouldn't have spare plates in inventory, so I understand a refund (or shipping the set back which I didn't want to do) is all that could be done. So, there is some risk in ordering from Amazon vs. Mikasa directly or a store that carries replacement inventory (like Macy's where I ordered the replacement places). In the end, I would order again through Amazon because it wasn't that much of a hassle to replace the plates at no cost to me.
 Nine years of daily use June 10, 2008
This is the pattern we chose for our wedding, nine years ago. We have used it daily since. It is not perfect. We break dishes -especially the teacups and coffee/tea pots. Every once in a while one will crack in the microwave. The cereal bowls have marks in them. These flaws are the nature of ceramics, and to be expected with normal use. All in all, they are in good shape after nine years, and I still like them. They set a pretty table, and I like using my "wedding china" everyday.
Don't hesitate to buy this set March 20, 2008
This set of stoneware is beautiful and functional. I plan to use it for everyday but it is perfect for special occasions. The dishes arrived quickly and were packaged well. Every piece of the set was perfect. I did hesitate to order because I worried about breakage but my worries disappeared when all the dishes were unpacked without any problems. The price is excellent for this set and there are many matching pieces available. I was very pleased with my purchase.
