Mikasa French Countryside 45-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8
Mikasa French Countryside 45-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8
French Countryside from Mikasa graces any table with casual simplicity and a touch of class. Solidly glazed, the durable stoneware is a warm, creamy shade of white, suitable for year-round dining with linens in any color. A pattern of three raised ridges and scalloped rims graces each piece with subtle texture, except for the teacup rim, which is smooth. The plates show a substantially raised border, making them deeper than many plates. The rimmed bowl generously holds cereal, soup, or salad, while the teacup is perfect for morning coffee, with or without the matching saucer. Made of durable, chip-resistant stoneware, French Countryside dinnerware is safe for use in the microwave and dishwasher, may be loaded up with leftovers and placed in the freezer, and if desired may be placed in a cool oven and warmed up slowly.
A comprehensive 45-piece set for eight diners that includes a five-piece serving set, this set includes eight of each of the following: 10-7/8-inch dinner plate, 8-inch salad plate, 8-1/2-inch rimmed soup bowl, 8-ounce teacup, and 6-inch saucer. Rounding out the place settings are a 12-inch round buffet platter, generous serving bowl, and a creamer and lidded sugar bowl, both gracefully footed. Additional French Countryside accent pieces and accessories are available separately to set a fully coordinated table. –Ann Bieri

Mikasa French Countryside 45-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8 Review
This is my first review for Amazon! That’s how much I like this set. I also wanted to share the good experience I had with Amazon.
I love, love French Countryside by Mikasa! In my college days when I worked in the bridal department of a department store, we would have tons of brides register for this pattern as well as Italian and English Countryside by Mikasa. I myself ended up with English Countryside. Isn’t it funny how your tastes change though? I like the French Countryside so much better now! After about 12 years and 6 moves, most of my English Countryside pieces were missing or broken and I needed a new set. I had always remembered French Countryside, and when I started looking for new china, I choose this one right away.
The French Countryside is well made, heavy, and elegant. It can be formal or informal, depending on how you dress it up. Some ladies in other reviews say they dress up the white plates with red table accents at Christmas. They are classic looking pieces that go with anything. So if you decide to change the décor in the kitchen these will always work. I am very happy with this set and know I will have it for many years to come.
The price on Amazon for 45 pieces is great, you just can’t beat it. To buy these pieces in a place setting or individually would be so much more, plus you get five serving pieces with this offer.
When the package arrived, I expected pieces to be broken from other reviews I had read on Amazon. It seems as if a lot of china pieces packaged together are destined to break. Luckily, only one salad plate broke out of the 45 pieces. I called Amazon and they gave me a refund for the plate. No hassles, very easy (they said I could return the whole box, but there was no way I was doing that. It is heavy and repacking everything would have been impossible, so getting a refund for the plate was the best solution).
I highly recommend this set if you are looking for durable, long-lasting, classic dinnerware. I really enjoy my pieces!
