MikasaCiara 16-Piece Bone China Dinnerware Set, Service for 4-5151631

Love these dishes. Bought to replace my Mikasa Garden Harvest which I loved but which scratched badly from silverware. Have been using these everyday for a couple of months and no scratches. Lighter than the Mikasa stoneware, so another plus. And the white is so versatile. Pattern is same as Mikasa Swirl White bone china, which offers more accessory pieces. These dishes are perfect for me

Great set well packaged

These are beautiful, lightweight and simple. The sale price was enticing, I ordered 2 sets of 16 pcs. I had already opened 99% of the plates and put everything in the dishwasher... the last item was a broken salad plate!! I didn't feel like returning the whole set since I was kind of careless with the inner boxes and had already torn and folded them for recycling.I had to purchase a single salad plate for an extra $16.50 . The actual Mikasa box was in another plain box and very securely packed.The inner packaging of the Mikasa box could have been sturdier though. Perhaps the plate broke while they were packing it and nothing was said. I am happy with the plates regardless of the broken one :)

This is an absolutely beautiful set of dishes. This was my first time buying bone china and there is such a huge difference between these and the set of cheap stoneware I had before--they are more uniform in size, so much thinner and lighter and so far nothing has put a scratch on them. They also don't take up nearly as much room as my old dishes--the bowls in particular fit nicely into each other so I only need one stack in my cabinet where I used to have to have two. I really love the simple pattern around the edges and these will work well for casual dining as well as fancier dinners.I did end up requesting a replacement mug and two replacement bowls from Mikasa due to small defects and they were friendly and fast about shipping them to me. If you buy these dishes I recommend you run your hands over all the surfaces to make sure there aren't any little defects that may be difficult to see but very obvious and pointy when you happen to touch them.

The media could not be loaded. For daily use/ I’m going to order one more setAnd I just open the 2nd set, with coffee cups not with soup plates like the first setI wonder why different than the 1st set?Not sure how to specified that when ordering

This dinnerware is attractive, but I can't evaluate its durability, because I returned it. Although each piece is marked "bone china" the thickness of each item makes it look like standard stoneware. The glazing on each piece is also not as lustrous as other bone china I own. So if that's OK by you, then you will probably really like this dinnerware, as bone china is far more durable and lightweight than the stoneware this china resembles.

I bought these plates in late 2019 and started using them in Jan 2020 on a daily basis. They were beautiful when new. It is now Aug, 2023 and I am very disappointed how these plates have weathered. The finish is “wearing away” after just 3 years. These plates are not abused. Just used for daily meals, washed in a dishwasher, and very occasionally used in a microwave. So disappointing.UPDATE: After just 4 1/2 years of use, they need to be replaced. Horrible quality. The finish is so worn that these dishes no longer even clean properly. I bought Mikasa due to their supposed quality and reputation. Running a household for decades, I have never had dishes need replacing due to wear. I buy quality, which is what I thought I was buying. What a mistake and a waste of money!

I bought a "Used - Like New" set of Ortley (16 PCs) at less than half the quoted price and was a little worried about what I'd get, but this set came incredibly well-packaged, each unit in its separate cardboard box, all packed tight. I'm no crockery expert but these plates are a little thicker and heavier than our last set which was Corelle, but one of our Corelle plates had cracked through the middle in the microwave (very basic 700-watt microwave, no more than 3 minutes) and these haven't done anything like that yet. The Corelle plates also eventually got scratched up after a few months of use. I'm hoping, being white, these will avoid that issue. I've had them for a month now and so far used them in the microwave and in the oven at around 450 degrees, haven't tried a dishwasher. Very satisfied.
