none better!Aug 04, 2008
By L. Harrell
"harrell111107"
I know I drove my new husband nuts when we registered. I changed my mind about a million times, and researched everything on our registry. I was the worst when it came to choosing China. I looked first at various beautifully painted patterns, only to realize that they weren't dishwasher or microwave safe. And most of the White patterns were so dainty my husband wouldn't even pick them up in the stores, so I was terrified to have them around him and children, since we have 4 neices and 2 nephews under the age of 8. My solution came in this china.
The pattern is elegantly simple so it will never be dated and even though it's thin and light (yes, it's translucent, you can see light through it, but good china is supposed to be) it is a comfortable fit for everyone who uses it, from my 6'6" husband to our 2 year old neice.
This China is also microwave safe, dishwasher safe, oven safe and chip resistant. I've found this to hold true because my husband always overloads the sinks and dishwasher, and tends not to care where he puts things. My Mikasa china is holding up beautifully. My teacups have been used to bake souffles, freeze parfaits and all of the dishes have been repeatedly microwaved. Yes THIS CHINA IS OVEN, FREEZER, DISHWASHER, MICROWAVE ETC. PROOF! My only advise is wipe the cups before they go in the dishwasher.
If you like drinking the milk out of your cereal bowl, I would suggest either purchasing additional cereal bowls or purchasing the smaller set and definitely purchasing additional platters and vegetable bowls. This set comes with rimmed soup bowls and they are not good to sip out of.

Beautiful and Elegant ChinaJan 08, 2009
By Long Time Shopper
I narrowed it down to the Antique White and the French Countryside. Both are very similar in pattern and was having a very difficult time choosing one. I had almost gone with the French Countryside because I liked the option of square plates, which I didn't see for the Antique White, and I liked the French Countryside pattern just a tad more.
But in the end, I chose the Antique White for 2 reasons. 1) I wanted true white dinnerware and the French Countryside was more a linen/cream color. 2) Antique White is china; the French Countryside is stoneware. All my dishes are currently stoneware (20+ years) and although I like them because they stand up to everyday use, I really had my heart set on good China, something a bit more elegant and lighter weight but still able to withstand everyday use.
I've only had the set for about a month and it took a little getting used to using something that looks so delicate and elegant as everyday-ware. Even my husband said food looks better on the white. We use it just like our other stoneware and so far so good! The set was packaged very well. I also purchased the cereal bowls and we love them! Another good thing about this pattern is that if an item ever does break (I've been known to be a bit clumsy sometimes), replacements won't be hard to find (at least for now) since it's one of Mikasa's most popular patterns. I am so happy that I decided on the Antique White!!
UPDATE (2+ Years Later):
So it's been over 2 years using this set and all the pieces are as beautiful as the day I got them. They always get washed by the dishwasher so they've held up. I also purchased the pasta bowls but they are stoneware and not fine China. The only problem I've had was a little chip on one of the pasta bowl. But the original set is still immaculate and I still love it!

Excellent quality and quantity for the priceFeb 05, 2008

The Mikasa Antique White set is made of fine china instead of the more fragile stoneware of the Mikasa French Countryside set, available for the same price. The pattern is the same, so do not confuse them (Amazon.com has switched the descriptions for these two dinnerware sets).
Mikasa makes Antique White dinnerware out of its "Ultima +" brand of fine china (supposedly very strong), and describes it as oven, freezer, dishwasher and microwave safe.
I have just received the Antique White 45 piece set (8 place settings with teacups and a serving set) well packed and intact, and will update this review should it not perform up to expectations.
Note: I recently saw the same set at the same price in my local Macy's.

Terrific product--great value, too!Feb 24, 2009
By Casual Mom
I recently had to obtain new dinnerware; I wanted something all white. After purchasing a stoneware set from Pfaltzgraff and watching it get completely scratched up after 1 week's use, I returned it all. A bridal consultant at Macy's suggested china instead of stoneware for durability reasons (including the four children who load and unload our dishwasher). We were intrigued with Mikasa's Antique White pattern but thought that it was out of our price range until we discovered it at Amazon. We our new plates and bowls and have begun collecting other serving pieces. It's lighter than stoneware, and makes even tacos seem more elegant. The pieces have already been clanked together soundly without a crack, scratch, or chip. We are very happy with this purchase.

Beautiful dishesJan 06, 2009
By Eileen Walker
"Critic at large"
I would consider the Mikasa Antique White china elegantly casual dinnerware. This dinnerware has a high glaze and is beautiful. Being antique white, I can change my color scheme with different table cloths or accent pieces for a more formal or casual look. I like that I can heat the dishes in the oven without worrying about them breaking.
To complete the set, I added bread and butter plates and dessert bowls. Over all, I'm very happy with my purchase. The only down side I found was when I unpacked the dinnerware, each and every piece had a sticker on it that had to be removed. A little Goof-Off got rid of the tape residue nicely.
