"Buyer Beware! The current iteration of the French Countryside pattern is not the same color or quality as the original which was made in Japan. It is more yellow/cream than the original white, and the glazing technique (said to be up to current standards) leaves a rough surface on the bottom rim so that it does not glide smoothly on your counter but scratches as it moves along. The original glaze covered the bottom rim as the bowl was held up in 3 tiny spots in the top 3rd of the outside of the bowl so the glaze would cover the bottom. I was so very disappointed! I requested prepaid return shipping as these were elements that could not be seen before receiving the product but was denied. My next step would be to report this business to the Better Business Bureau but at this point it is too much effort. The only redeeming quality is that the surface of the glaze appears to be strong, so if color and counter scratching do not matter to you, then you should like this traditionally elegant pattern."
"2 of 8 bowls arrived smashed. None of the bowls match the set I own. Different color, different shape, different size. Very disappointed."
"Love the French countryside design! And the pasta bowls are a perfect size!"
"Everything was shipped to perfection and we love the new dishes! Fabulous quality and beautiful design!!"
"Have had this set for 30 years and continue to love them!"
"Three of my French Countryside soup bowls had developed cracks after years of use. I felt fortunate to find replacements at Mikasa. com. They arrived in perfect condition."
"Does not match my current French Countryside bowls AT ALL! Much bulkier and looks and feels like ceramic. I've had them for many years -it's very disappointing"
"Love the shape of the bowls but prefer the old Whole Wheat colour - would like to see different colour choices with more of a matt finish that the shiny gloss."
"I'm very disappointed. Two of the first four that came were broken. The bowls I received are very different than the original bowls I have. They are a different color white and the shape is uneven. You cannot stack them along with the original bowls. Can I please exchange them or are they all made differently now?"
