Overall, I think this set of china is very attractive. but I wish I had fully considered some issues. I didn't realize that the soup bowls are huge. They are more suitable for a hearty bowl of soup for lunch than for a first course of a dinner or a scoop of ice cream for dessert. Second, my set is made in Malaysia, but I purchased a separate serving bowl at the same time from Amazon, and it is made in China. The Chinese-made bowl is slightly yellower and the porcelain finish is not as nice. Now I am scared that if I purchase the smaller fruit bowls that they won't match the Malaysia-made set. Finally, the plates are very deep, over an inch, so they don't fit the prongs of my European Bosch dishwasher really well, which is made for thinner china.

This is my first review for Amazon! That's how much I like this set. I also wanted to share the good experience I had with Amazon.I love, love French Countryside by Mikasa! In my college days when I worked in the bridal department of a department store, we would have tons of brides register for this pattern as well as Italian and English Countryside by Mikasa. I myself ended up with English Countryside. Isn't it funny how your tastes change though? I like the French Countryside so much better now! After about 12 years and 6 moves, most of my English Countryside pieces were missing or broken and I needed a new set. I had always remembered French Countryside, and when I started looking for new china, I choose this one right away.The French Countryside is well made, heavy, and elegant. It can be formal or informal, depending on how you dress it up. Some ladies in other reviews say they dress up the white plates with red table accents at Christmas. They are classic looking pieces that go with anything. So if you decide to change the décor in the kitchen these will always work. I am very happy with this set and know I will have it for many years to come.The price on Amazon for 45 pieces is great, you just can't beat it. To buy these pieces in a place setting or individually would be so much more, plus you get five serving pieces with this offer.When the package arrived, I expected pieces to be broken from other reviews I had read on Amazon. It seems as if a lot of china pieces packaged together are destined to break. Luckily, only one salad plate broke out of the 45 pieces. I called Amazon and they gave me a refund for the plate. No hassles, very easy (they said I could return the whole box, but there was no way I was doing that. It is heavy and repacking everything would have been impossible, so getting a refund for the plate was the best solution).I highly recommend this set if you are looking for durable, long-lasting, classic dinnerware. I really enjoy my pieces!

I rate the 45 piece so highly because it is really well made. I agree completely with others.However, be careful when buying larger pieces such as the large rectangular serving platter, the large oval serving platter and the 5 piece pasta bowl set. The ones I bought are all made in China and the quality is very different than the quality of this F9000 series. The glazing on the bottom does not cover the bottom edge of the plates (where it sits on a table) This edge is unglazed and rough like "cheap plates" and water can seep in there and go all the way through to the top of the plate. If that water is dirty (like on a countertop) you now have a stain inside the plate, that shows through, that you will not be able to remove. They chip easily, the glazing is uneven, gritty in spots and worst of all, it is a whiter color than the cream colored pieces in the 45 piece Malysian made dishes I have. They don't match color!Mikasa quality control from the Chinese factories appears to be very lousy and their specs for finsh must be very much relaxed. If I were Mikasa I'd be embarrassed to sell these. This was not an aberration, three things I bought at different times, made in China, were all poor quality compared to this F9000 set.Did I say the 45-piece set made in Malaysia is great! I've got service for ten - through Amazon. I love this style.
