Amazon.com Review
French Countryside from Mikasa graces any table with casual simplicity and a touch of class. Solidly glazed, the durable stoneware is a warm, creamy shade of white, suitable for year-round dining with linens in any color. A pattern of three raised ridges and scalloped rims graces each piece with subtle texture, except for the teacup rim, which is smooth. The plates show a substantially raised border, making them deeper than many plates. The rimmed bowl generously holds cereal, soup, or salad, while the teacup is perfect for morning coffee, with or without the matching saucer. Made of durable, chip-resistant stoneware, French Countryside dinnerware is safe for use in the microwave and dishwasher, may be loaded up with leftovers and placed in the freezer, and if desired may be placed in a cool oven and warmed up slowly. A comprehensive 45-piece set for eight diners that includes a five-piece serving set, this set includes eight of each of the following: 10-7/8-inch dinner plate, 8-inch salad plate, 8-1/2-inch rimmed soup bowl, 8-ounce teacup, and 6-inch saucer. Rounding out the place settings are a 12-inch round buffet platter, generous serving bowl, and a creamer and lidded sugar bowl, both gracefully footed. Additional French Countryside accent pieces and accessories are available separately to set a fully coordinated table. --Ann Bieri What's In the Box

good dishes, 2 broken, polite refund October 14, 2008
LJ Web (CA USA)
Well-made dishes that hold up for decades. (We've used them for that long, then recently bought this set from Amazon.) Unlike much of modern casual china, they are well-finished on the bottom so they don't scratch everything. Unfortunately the set is poorly packaged. Two of our plates arrived broken. But Amazon supplied appropriate refunds quickly and with no hassle. After that we are very happy with our china.
Malaysia-made is good but be careful of China-made July 3, 2008

I rate the 45 piece so highly because it is really well made. I agree completely with others.
However, be careful when buying larger pieces such as the large rectangular serving platter, the large oval serving platter and the 5 piece pasta bowl set. The ones I bought are all made in China and the quality is very different than the quality of this F9000 series. The glazing on the bottom does not cover the bottom edge of the plates (where it sits on a table) This edge is unglazed and rough like "cheap plates" and water can seep in there and go all the way through to the top of the plate. If that water is dirty (like on a countertop) you now have a stain inside the plate, that shows through, that you will not be able to remove. They chip easily, the glazing is uneven, gritty in spots and worst of all, it is a whiter color than the cream colored pieces in the 45 piece Malysian made dishes I have. They don't match color!
Mikasa quality control from the Chinese factories appears to be very lousy and their specs for finsh must be very much relaxed. If I were Mikasa I'd be embarrassed to sell these. This was not an aberration, three things I bought at different times, made in China, were all poor quality compared to this F9000 set.
Did I say the 45-piece set made in Malaysia is great! I've got service for ten - through Amazon. I love this style.
 Great everyday china June 13, 2008
Jenn D (Kodiak, AK)
We chose the Mikasa French Countryside as our china pattern for our wedding in 1996. We have used it as our everyday dishes...everyday! It has worn and broken over the years so we recently needed to get new dishes. I have looked and looked for something new and found nothing that I liked more than the Mikasa so finally just purchased the 45 piece set. This set is timeless. Even though pieces have broken in the past you do have to consider that we use these for breakfast, lunch and dinner, have five children and have moved from Arizona to Alaska. Pretty good in my book!
Beautiful, durable tableware at a great price May 11, 2008
Amy Huff (Lilburn, GA United States)
I looked at many different patterns for my everyday dishes. I decided on the French Countryside and am so glad I did. These dishes are beautiful and still look like they did when I purchased them. They go with absolutely everything.
I searched all over to find the best price for these, and amazon's 199.99 was by far the cheapest. The least expensive department store had them for $29.99 per place setting (on sale) which would have worked out to $240 not even including the 5-piece completer set. The set arrived well packed and not a single piece was chipped or broken.
I highly recommend the Mikasa French Countryside set for anyone who wants a really nice everyday set that holds up well. I also got the sugar and creamer set which is really pretty.
Excellent everyday dinnerware set May 10, 2008
Kevin M. Holmgren (Long Island, New York)
This is an excellent dinnerware set. This goes with everything. My wife and I use this daily for all our dining needs and we are very satisfied. We have put it through the dishwasher daily. None have chipped so far after 5 months of use. Highly recommended. Nice detail around the rim. Nice deep salad bowls that will hold your oatmeal, cereal, salad, anything. Well worth the money.
