You will be disappointed if expect them to match
"Be advised if you're going to get these. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say they lost or destroyed the original molds they used to make the first Italian Countryside, and then later found out there was a lot of demand for replacements. So they took some of the old plates and used them to press new molds, with the result that much of the fine look of the older plates was muddled and glossed over in the new. I have included pictures of the old and new dinner plates - you can clearly see how sharp and clear the filigree is on the older plates and how blurred and indistinct it is on the new ones I ordered from Mikasa. I'm not saying don't get them, but I'm saying what you're going to get is something you'd never want to serve to company. If you need to use them to make up for some broken ones to use within your family, then they're fine. But don't buy them if you think what you're getting matches the original ones. They're not even close."

"Does not even match my original set. The embossed pattern around the outer part of the plate is barely visible."

I have used Mikasa Italian
"I have used Mikasa Italian Countryside for 15 years and have loved it. It’s beautiful, classic, and classy. I have service for 10, so when a few of my pieces got chips, cracks, or broken it was time to reorder. It was packed so well for shipping and nothing was broken. I love the color!"

The quality of the plates
"The quality of the plates are not as detailed and clear as they used to be and they are a different color and weight. Wish I could get the old plates."

If you are buying these
"If you are buying these to match older Mikasa Italian Countryside plates you have, note that the color is significantly darker than the original plates. Makes me sad because I loved the color of the original plates."

Pattern & Color Not Like Original
"I purchased my dishes many years ago and just spent $350 on various replacement pieces due chips that occurred over the years. The current pattern crispness and color don't match the original set."
