The Mikasa French Countryside flatware set is a quaint design, versatile enough to coordinate with multiple decorating styles. It has a highly polished finish which I plan to hand wash and dry most of the time, although Im sure it would hold up well in the dishwasher. The weight and balance is good, but I find it slightly more cumbersome to use than another set I have. In my pictures I show another older European sized set that is slightly larger, and a vintage set that I consider human sized, along with the Mikasa set in the center. I would prefer to buy American made these are made in Vietnam. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and Wayfair has competitive prices and fast shipping.

This flatware is elegant. It looks expensive without being costly.

Wonderful set that is fancy enough for all those holiday dinners but works for ever day too. Good weight, shiny not too small. Love the details and each piece is easy to hold. A great buy.

This is an excellent flatware set. Frozen ice cream is not a problem, and there are enough pieces so I never run out of spoons.

Lovely, very nice weight, finish, style. Simple and feminine not too delicate. Nice size. Great as special everyday and nice enough for all special occasions.
