- Is the whole set microwave safe?
- The porcelain plates and bowls are microwave safe, but the platinum rim and the glasses are not. Keep the rimmed pieces and glasses out of the microwave.
- Can the platinum trim go in the dishwasher?
- Yes, but repeated dishwasher cycles are what dull the metallic band. Hand washing the rimmed pieces keeps the shine longer.
- What comes in the box?
- Eight dinner plates, eight dessert plates, eight bowls, eight saucers and eight handled glasses, for 40 pieces total.
- How does it compare with bone china sets?
- Porcelain is denser and heavier than bone china and generally less chip-resistant. This set gives you more pieces for a coordinated table rather than fine-china delicacy.
- Is it good for everyday use?
- The plates and bowls handle daily meals and dishwasher cycles well. Treat the glasses and platinum trim as the delicate parts.
- Does it match other Mikasa Platinum Crown pieces?
- The pattern is part of Mikasa's Platinum Crown line, so open-stock plates and bowls in the same pattern can extend the set if a piece breaks.
