great buy!
I saw this same set of china in Macys for $200.00. They didn't even have it in stock however even if I had wanted to get it. I saw the same set on Amazon for $162.00 with free shipping. what a deal. It is very pretty. excellent quality too. No chips or breaks. fast shipping. I am very happy with my purchase.
Another excellent Mikasa dinnerware set
This is the 2nd Mikasa dinnerware set (40-piece Mikasa Parchment Red) I have purchased. In 1989 I purchased the 40 piece Mikasa Imperial Lapis for $600. Now, almost 20 years later I was able to purchase another excellent set at $150 (w/free shipping). It's a beautiful pattern. The salad plate and the cup & saucer are bigger than the older set. There is a good balance of red with the white so the white isn't a stark contrast with the red. The package arrived within a week and was carefully packaged. There were no missing, broken or defective pieces. I am very pleased with the set and I know it will give me years of pleasure, just like the older set. I used the Imperial Lapis set everyday for almost 20 years, and cleaned in the dishwasher. ... Read More
Beautiful Dinnerware
I have been looking at this dinnerware for awhile, and kept waiting for the price to go down, but other than occasional sales of a few dollars off, I have never found this for less than $60 a place setting. To find 8 placesettings on Amazon for less than 1/2 the cost of 4 settings, was very exciting and I ordered them immediately. They arrived within within a few days of ordering and were perfect.
Over a month now - but no show yet
I placed a order on Jan 27th with 2 day shipping for Mikasa Parchment Red 40-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8. Its 21st Feb now and still it has not arrived. I just hope to see it one day !
WOW--gorgeous dishes!
I ordered this china specifically to use during the holidays. It arrived in perfect condition with all pieces accounted for, and is absolutely lovely. The red and gold combination can be used year-round, and it is dishwasher safe! I like it so much I intend to order another service for 8. Excellent value.
