"love everything about it"
"We are very happy with this dinnerware. The plates are big and sturdy and very pretty. The coffee mugs are perfect size and the handles are big enough to be comfortable but not too big."
"Disappointed in Italian countryside dishes. Most of them cracked and discolored. Loved them initially but now disappointed."
"love this pattern"
"I wish they were clearly identified that they are not white like the bone china! They are off white."
"Just received the set, vegetable bowl and salt and pepper shakers. I love all of them and the pattern. Everything arrived packaged well and no damage. I hope the Italian countryside flatware becomes available. I may consider it."
"I bought these about 30 years ago soon after I married. They moved around the world with us and have suited so many occasions. We recently lost our home in the LA Palisades fire and lost them. Once we started Looking for replacements we were surprised and delighted to find these again. We didn’t find another we liked more and the familiarity brought great comfort. I do hope the quality of these lives up to the first set - my college age daughter now wants them! Thank you for keeping this very classic pattern in the off white!"
"Love!!"
"My wife and I have had this set for 14 years. If you place them correctly in the dishwasher so they don't bump against each other they will last forever. The Italian countryside design pattern is perfect - easy to be elegant or casual. We use them for all occasions."
