Sizes larger than advertised

Review by P. Parrish, 2010-06-02

I wanted this set because the plates are advertised as a reasonable 10 inch size, but upon receiving them they are actually a much larger and unwieldy 11 inches. It's hard to give yourself healthy-sized portions of food when using such a large plate.

The "cereal bowls" are advertised as 6", but they are 7". They look more like serving bowls to me - they must hold at least a quart. Almost big enough to feed a Newfoundland his breakfast in. If you look at any box of cereal a serving size is about 1 cup. This amount looks pitiful in such a large bowl. A study featured in the September 2007 issue of American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that when nutrition experts were given large bowls, they ate 31 percent more food without even being aware of it.

I was looking specifically for smaller-sized dinnerware. I am very disappointed that the actual sizes are not accurately listed on Amazon's website.

do not buy the bowels absorb water

Review by N. Kelly, 2010-01-04

Do not buy these dishes they absorb water and discolor instantly. They are not sealed on the bottoms of the bowels will absorb water and change color to brownish tan.

Packing was Fine, Nice Casual Dishes

Review by Consumer, 2009-11-20

I bought these last minute, mostly because of the reviews and was afraid I might not like them, but I ended up liking them very much. This is a casual but versatile set. The dishes were packed well, a box within another box, within another box, plenty of cardboard between each dish. I expected to find a few flaws or chips or bumps in the glaze, but I found none. Colour is not as white as the picture shows, more of a stock card manilla cream colour - and they feel good to touch, smooth,glossy,and light weight for stoneware. I am glad I made the purchase, they are nice to have. The size of the bowls are large, and work for pasta, salads, cereal, soup, even vegetable servings. The dinner plates are 11 1/4" in diameter, fairly normal sized dinner plate, had no issue fitting in my cupboard.

Love this Mikasa Dinnerware!

Review by Julia A. Andrews, 2009-10-09

I purchased this last year to add to my current Mikasa that I highly recommend Mikasa Italian Countryside 45-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8. We were having a large family gathering at our home over an extended period and I did not want to be constantly loading and unloading the dishwasher. This was the solution to that problem. I have used my original Mikasa Italian Dinnerware set daily for last 3 years and LOVE it! No problems with color. No problems with chipping. However, unless you have a TALL tub dishwasher it would be difficult to load this set without incidence. That problem was encountered with a co-worker's daughter who uses this dinnerware set. That said, it has been "hands down"my favorite daily dinnerware.
