Beware of metal etching!
"I purchased the Mikasa French Countryside dinnerware along with the coordinating French Countryside flatware. Unfortunately, the flatware left deep, dark metal etchings on every piece of the dinnerware. This should never happen with high‑quality flatware, but clearly that is not the case here. My experience with customer service was equally disappointing. They acknowledged the problem but advised that my only option was to frequently scrub each piece of dinnerware with Bar Keepers Friend. I followed their recommendation, and it did not remove the etchings at all. Given the damage, lack of effective resolution, and poor quality for the price point, I strongly recommend considering better‑quality alternatives for both dinnerware and flatware."
