I know I drove my new husband nuts when we registered. I changed my mind about a million times, and researched everything on our registry. I was the worst when it came to choosing China. I looked first at various beautifully painted patterns, only to realize that they weren’t dishwasher or microwave safe. And most of the White patterns were so dainty my husband wouldn’t even pick them up in the stores, so I was terrified to have them around him and children, since we have 4 neices and 2 nephews under the age of 8. My solution came in this china.
The pattern is elegantly simple so it will never be dated and even though it’s thin and light (yes, it’s translucent, you can see light through it, but good china is supposed to be) it is a comfortable fit for everyone who uses it, from my 6’6″ husband to our 2 year old neice.
This China is also microwave safe, dishwasher safe, oven safe and chip resistant. I’ve found this to hold true because my husband always overloads the sinks and dishwasher, and tends not to care where he puts things. My Mikasa china is holding up beautifully. My teacups have been used to bake souffles, freeze parfaits and all of the dishes have been repeatedly microwaved. Yes THIS CHINA IS OVEN, FREEZER, DISHWASHER, MICROWAVE ETC. PROOF! My only advise is wipe the cups before they go in the dishwasher.
If you like drinking the milk out of your cereal bowl, I would suggest either purchasing additional cereal bowls or purchasing the smaller set and definitely purchasing additional platters and vegetable bowls. This set comes with rimmed soup bowls and they are not good to sip out of.
