Review of Mikasa Italian Countryside 5-Piece Place Setting, Service for 1

This is filed under casual dinnerware, but I feel as though I can pull this out for a semi-formal dinner with a few friends and have a very well-set table. Moreso than the French and English countryside, the Italian countryside style isn't too floral or busy... the design is simple and, well, Italian... think of the classic beauty in a Roman column. The just-off white color is warm-looking, for a less stark place setting, and matches nearly every decor... unless it's completely white, in which case you probably don't want to eat much on your table.Do I recommend this? Yes. For young singles or couples who don't want the expense of owning two sets of dishes, this is a great set to start your household with.

Product Description
The ultimate in versatility and classic appeal, a white-on-white design allows you to transition gracefully from casual to more formal occasions. A simple change of glassware, linens or the addition of colorful accent pieces creates an entirely different look with a minimum of expense and fuss. This pattern features a fluted band and a scrolling border, at home just about anywhere.

Review of Stalkmarket 12-Inch Jumbo Oval Platter, 500-Count Case

We ordered these for our wedding reception, and we were super happy with them.We served steaks, so they had to be strong, and we had no complaints from the non-green people.They were sturdy and attractive and best of all, I had no guilt about wasting resources because of our party.

Product Description
Stalkmarket earth friendly paper tableware are made from sugar cane fiber that is a waste product of the sugar refining process.

Review of Fiesta 21-Ounce Cappuccino Mug

I bought the 20 ounce Cappucinno mug in the color Cinnabar on a whim last year. It was Autumn, and I always get in the mood for coffees, teas, and hot chocolates when the weather turns cool!

This huge mug is absolutely gorgeous with the etched surfaces; however, it's quite heavy!

The only difficulty with this mug is that if you don't drink your beverage rather quickly, it can cool pretty fast (because it holds so much liquid!) However, it IS microwaveable, so it's no problem heating it up again in the microwave.

This would make an excellent gift for those who love rootbeer floats, homemade milkshakes, coffees, and teas! Cinnabar is a gorgeous shade of reddish brown, too.

Review of Fiesta 421 Small Mixing Bowl 7.5", 44oz

I love these bowls, which seem to me to have a Revere-bowl shape... possibly not consistent with the art deco lines of classic Fiesta, but a pleasant shape nonetheless.

Although these are labeled as "mixing bowls", they are way more versatile than that... I more often use mine for serving bowls. (I don't really like the Fiesta flat-bottomed bowl style.) I got a full set of small, medium, large a few years ago and have found that I use them enough that I wanted more than one, so I've added a few more of the small and medium in different colors. (The large is less precious because I have other serving bowls that size.)
