"I had a set of these dishes from a while ago and absolutely loved them. I added replacements and extras to my wedding registry and the difference in quality is drastic. The colors are not even close, the plates are slightly smaller and flatter and the details on the edges are not nearly as clear. Extremely disappointing if you’re trying to add to your set. Top plate is the original and the bottom is new."
"I ordered Italian Countryside replacement salad plates and dinner plates directly from Mikasa. Received the order promptly and it was packaged extremely well. The plates were an exact match to my older ones. I had read some reviews where customers said that the plates were more of a beige color but, from other reports I read, these customers may not have ordered directly from Mikasa. Order directly and you should have no problem!"
"I like the dishes. I bought as replacements because my others were chipped from the dishwasher blade. They are so large, which is nice for food on the plate, but too tall for my dishwasher. So I’ve learned to lean them over so the blade doesn’t chip them again."
"I bot and recieved my set for my wedding 2004 and still Love them still. Found that the edge pattern not as defined, alittle dissappointing but not noticeable to others. Love them anywsy."
"Ordered four dinner plates to match my existing set and they are perfect."
"I love this pattern. I have been using these plates for many years and needed some replacements. They are elegant and beautiful and the ones I have been using for many years still look almost new."
"Very nice costomer rep. Excellent price safe and quick shipping."
"The difference in color (nowhere near as white as my original plates) and difference in visibility of embossing along the perimeter is a major disappointment."
"The color is a darker shade of off white than the rest all the pieces I have. The detail around the edge of the plates (both sizes) is very unclear, my original settings have clearly etched detail. I’m feeling like these are “seconds” that wouldn’t be sold in a store. Not a good purchase. And it took quite a while to come."
"The dishes are beautiful and when one came with a minor imperfection, Mikasa had possibly the BEST Customer Service I have ever dealt with. They promptly shipped out a replacement. I will definitely continue to order from Mikasa!"
