Mikasa has been in the business of setting beautiful tables since 1948. Best known for their fashionable designs, Mikasa dishes are also well made and reasonably priced. This place setting contains a 10-3/4-inch dinner plate; an 8-inch salad plate; a shallow, 7-3/4-inch soup bowl; and a cup and saucer. The Wedding Band platinum pattern embodies purity and grace. The pieces are made of fine white china that is delicately scalloped around the lips of the plates and bowls and around the outside of the cup. Each piece is accented by a gleaming, polished platinum band around its rim (and on the cup's handle). Invoking the dress, the cake, the rings, and the profound tradition of marriage, this place setting makes a wonderful wedding gift. Indeed, it will mark a rite of passage and in time become part of a new tradition. For best preservation of the platinum detail, hand washing is recommended. --Erin Brown

Elegant and effortless, Mikasa's Platinum Crown combines classic materials and tasteful ornamentation to create lovely yet straightforward formal dinnerware. Crafted from white fine china, the pattern features precious platinum accents--a blend of gleaming bands and a broader border with a linked crown motif. This covered dish, complete with swooping handles, a graceful lid, and a smart foot, lends sophistication to even the simplest casseroles. Its shape is easy to handle, fill, and serve from, and its banding is especially generous. The piece measures approximately 8-1/4 inches in diameter (handles not included) and stands 6 inches high. It is safe in the dishwasher, though Mikasa recommends washing by hand, and it coordinates with Platinum Crown place settings, serveware, and accessories. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Not originally $132.00
This dish is definitely not worth $132.00. I think Amazon misprices some of their merchandise--because I saw the ENTIRE set when I actually went to a Mikasa store, the WHOLE dish set (probably a 30, 50 or 80 piece set) was being sold for $130, not that one dish! Very misleading! Therefore, be careful when trying to bargain shop on Amazon--don't be misled by the original price tag they give you.

When the merchandise came in the mail (I ordered 4 because I thought I was getting a good deal), the dishes did not come in boxes that said "Mikasa" but in cardboard makeshift boxes that were taped together; not giftable at all. Granted, the dishes were exactly as I imagined they would be; just not giftable. ... Read more

Great looking set of China!
This china looks terrific. It's clean and elegant looking. The pieces are heavy and have a solid feel to them. The pieces are all dishwasher safe (although Mikasa cautions against it because of the platinum bands). And, for the Amazon price of $30 per placesetting, it's a terrific way to start a moderately priced set of china. The china easily looks like it would be two or three times the cost.

However, this set is not flawless. If you look close, you'll notice that the quality of the worksmanship is less than stellar. On about half the items in the placesetting, the crown bands do not line up at the seems. Although it's not terribly off-set, the seems are noticeable.

Also, the china itself has slight imperfections, such as dimples in the surface of the china. I bought about 8 placesettings, and there were a total of 7 pieces that had these tiny dimples (mostly in the tea cups). Now, these dimples are very small... about the size of a pin prick, and no deeper than 1 or 2 mm. However, they are imperfections. My guess is that this could be covered under Amazon's return/refund/exchange policy.

As for the quality, I'm guessing that a lot has to do with the fact that all of Mikasa's Platinum Crown pieces are made in Thailand. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that the more expensive line of Mikasa's china (and stoneware) are made elsewhere.

Overall, I'm fairly pleased with the china. Yes, there are a few minor imperfections, but for the price, I can live with those. ... Read more

Classic in its elegance, the Mikasa Platinum Crown coffee server combines beautiful base materials with gleaming platinum accents. Made from white fine china, the server features numerous bands of platinum at the foot, the broad handle, the body, the lid, and the sculpted finial. The broader accent band has an etched look with a row of linked crowns forming an ornate yet restrained motif. The profile of the piece is clean and lovely, and it stands at a graceful height on the table. Look for Mikasa Platinum Crown teacups and saucers to coordinate, or simply add this piece to your collection of place settings.
