MikasaDinnerware, Swirl Collection

I have been looking for a long time for everyday dishes that not only looked formal, but could stand up to daily use. I love my new dishes. They are very light weight for stoneware and look wonderful with accent pieces from some of my mother and grandmother's dishes.

dinner plate too large

Loved the pattern but had to return the dishes because the dinner plate touched the rotating arm of my dishwasher. I didn't want to wash the dinner plates by hand.

Love these plates

I needed to replace my pfaltzgraph cappachino set because they were completely covered with gray knife marks. I've had my swirl set for two months and no marks yet- as opposed to my pfaltzgraph set which was a mess from the start. I love the design and durability (so far so good).

Great Dinnerware for a Great Price

I love this set. I get comments all the time on how nice it looks. It is also very durable. I received 6 placesettings for my wedding and will probably buy more. I would reccommend it highly. If you buy the neutral color you can pair it with some of the bright fiesta ware for different fun place settings.

Casual China / Practical Purchase

I've never owned more than 8 plates that matched. I looked forever before I decided on this set. Now that I have it, I know it was an excellent choice. Although it looks like stoneware, it's still feels very delicate and well made. The inner surface of the plate is shiney, the outer ring is a matte finish. I feel I can dress it up, or use it for everyday. I purchased the tan plates with some of the serving dishes in black. I've mixed up some terra cotta colored serving dishes, and some other coffee mugs with a pattern on them from another collection. This set allows you to be so creative in setting a pretty table. I'm really happy with it.

Another Classic from Mikasa

We registered for the black Swirl set with many of the accessory pieces, and we love the elegant design and quality that many of our guests think is hand made. We are hoping Mikasa makes a covered butter dish to go with this set eventually. If you are planning on entertaining with this set, we would recommend buying 2 vegetable bowls and 2 platters, as you'll always use these when serving a large meal. Also, the cereal bowls have a great design - but be aware they can take up a bit more room in a cabinet because of the style. Overall, we love the set and look forward to using it for many years to come.

Mikasa Dishes

I love the new swirl design.My daughter is getting married and chose these for her everyday dishes. People love them and think they are homemade pottery. They are sleek yet elegant looking. My daughter originally chose these because the bowl does not have a lip and she thought they would be easy to drink milk out of after eating cereal.
