Amazon.com Review
Parchment from Mikasa glows with understated elegance. A favorite with newlyweds, the fine white china features two thin polished bands of platinum that set off a wide, silvery border. A close look at the border reveals a delicate tapestry pattern worked in contrasting silver and satin. Parchment is truly a lovely pattern.

Gift-boxed and ready to get a marriage under sail for entertaining, this 42-piece set consists of eight place settings, each comprised of a dinner plate, salad plate, soup plate, teacup, and saucer. A serving bowl and platter round out the collection. While platinum-trimmed china is dishwasher-safe, most manufacturers recommend air-drying, as heat can soften the luxurious platinum bands. --Ann Bieri

Just got the set yesterday. LOVE IT! This was by far a super buy! I couldn't believe that I got all that I did for the price that I did. It even came in earlier than expected and thats with the free shipping too! The pattern is very subtle and elegant. This is the first China that I have purchased and I look forward to buying the rest of the set. Even if I have to pay reg. price for the rest of the set (though I doubt it) the money I saved already....worth it!

ANOTHER GREAT DEAL @ AMAZON.COM
On December 14, 2005, I bought the Mikasa Red Parchment Fine China 40 piece Service for 8, for less than $180 from Amazon.com. Very nice and excellent set. I was so pleased that I visited Amazon.com for another set few days later, and on December 18, 2005, this time purchased the Gray Mikasa Parchment Fine China 42-Piece Dinnerware, Service for 8, for much less than the Red set, at $129.99 PLUS free shipping. I shopped for these sets at major retails stores in Massachusetts, and not one came close to what I paid for them @ Amazon.com. The Gray set is as beautiful as the Red Parchment set. All the pieces arrived intact. Highly recommended to all. Visit Amazon.com more often, you'll be surprised to see how much you'll save, compare to your local stores or to other online stores.
PS: I don't work for Amazon.com, I am just a pleased customer.

Beautiful china
The China was beautiful, with some minor flaws. Also, a bowl was broken during shipment; the process to correct this was tedious. I had to wait for another set; then return the original set, which was a headache trying to carry this huge, very heavy box to the PO. Additionally, the invoice inside said $118.00...so, I think I was overcharged. No refund issued. I definitely wouldn't do this again.
