I love the butterflies! They remind me of me and my fiancé’s first date – he bought me a framed butterfly from the county fair. :)
Modern Butterfly has such fun, beautiful colors – I’d love to have that pattern. I think it would go well with all the Fiesta dishes we use every day!
I ADORE the Modern Butterfly design. Everything I get for my kitchen and home is rich in saturated color, has a mix of mod and vintage and the butterfly design is just a perfect fit!
My favorite pattern is Parchment. It reminds me of the plates my mom would set out for special occasions when I was a little girl.
i love modern butterfly … the colors are bright and textures are awesome … they would be perfect in our newly painted kitchen!
Italian Countryside design would go perfect at our small morning breakfast wedding gathering in a field down by the riverside. The design goes perfect with the vintage feel of the day.

I like Italian Countryside because it is simple enough for everyday use, yet has an understated elegance about it that makes the entree the star of the party.

I love the Italian Countryside, so beautiful, I need these so much for my new place, no dishes
This is a hard one to pick because in some way I could imagine each one becoming “the family china”. Although quite in love with the bold colours of modern butterfly I’m completely taken with the homely, timeless look of the italian countryside. Love, love, love the italian countryside in both senses. Molto bello!
I absolutely adore the modern butterfly design – it is just begging for a summer dinner party.

I think my favorite has got to be Italian Countryside (but Parchment is a close second). I am a florist so I am naturally drawn to Modern Butterfly, but I don’t think my fiance would go for that! I love the simplicity of Italian Countryside, but the beautiful details make it unique!
I absolutely love the modern butterfly set. My new home with my husband is very bohemian, yet modern at the same time. We both love bright colors, so this set matches us perfectly. We are a young couple so I also think we need a dish set that is fun as well.

I am really feeling the Parchment. We just bought a new home to upgrade to a place where we can entertain and this design fits the house and us perfectly!
I really love the simplicity of the Italian Countryside set. It would fit perfectly with our future home, which will be filled with a lot of reused, white-washed, antiquey things and I feel like this would add the appropriate touch of formality to it. It doesn’t need any bold print – It stands out on it’s own for the lines and clean feel to it.
I think all the designs are beautiful for different reasons. But my favourite is Parchment because it is both unique and timeless.
Seriously they are amazing though!

My fave of the four above is the Modern Butterfly because it’s so colorful and fun.
“Italian Countryside” really does remind me of the Italian countryside that my sweetie and I recently visited. I’d love to add this collection to our home; perfect for formal and informal entertaining and goes with all of those “odd” dishes that I’ve collected along the way…
My favorite is love story. I think it would be perfect for any holiday. Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Valentines. They are all about love.

I really love the Italian Countryside! Simple, beautiful, and it won’t ever go out of style.
The Italian Countryside design is my favorite. One of the features I really like is the versatility of the creamy white color when setting the table. I could use a wide variety of tablecloths, placemats, floral pieces, etc and pull it off without a problem. There is just enough design detail to add some interest without being too fussy. Does that make sense? :-)
We are getting married this September and we haven’t registered yet! I would love to have the HOLIDAY TRADITIONS setting:) It is so classic and perfect for the holiday season! I love to entertain and I am so looking forward to Christmas Dinners at our house with the families:)
Mikasa is great! I love the Italian Countryside. So simple and classic.
I love the Modern Butterfly set because it’s on my registry! I had a really hard time choosing everyday dishware since most of the selection these days is plain white, but I absolutely loved the delicate, nature-inspired motif on this set.
I love the Love Story! and it would be perfect for me since I´m gonna start to live my love story this year in my new home with my husband!
Oh I adore the modern butterfly simply because you rarely see anything like it in the slightest! We have butterflys all over our property and they are such a unique creature! I get so sad when i see those picture frames with captured and killed butterflys behind the glass… if you want to see them… paint them!!!! Thank you Mikasa for such lovely art! Thank you GWS for the drawing!
I absolutely LOVE all four of these patterns; it makes it quite difficult to chose a favorite. I think, however, the one I like the best is the Parchment set. It describes me as a person perfectly: unique yet classy. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry, hit submit by mistake on my first comment.My favorite is the LOve Story pattern because it is so elegant.
I LOVE the Italian Countryside ! Simple, but elegant….
It’s so difficult to choose just one. The Parchment would be at the top of my list tho. It would even make my spam and eggs look onolicious; but then again I like the playfulness of the modern butterfly. That would be a wonderful gift for my daughter’s new home.
Modern Butterfly because its HAPPY!!!!
I love the simplicity of the Italian Countryside set. They would look lovely in our new home which we hope to move into just before the wedding. The simple white dishware would fit in perfectly as it is an 1860’s roadhouse built during the goldrush (in BC) and filled to the brim with interesting antiques.
The parchment pattern is so simplistic, but at the same time is engrossing. Definitely my first pick.
I really like the love story collection. We have registered for a lot of accents in this style and we really like them them! I mean after all it is or our wedding, but they don’t scream cheesy! I can see us creating a Valentine’s Day tradition with those!
I love the Anissa. Its just so Lovely. Cool Give a way
The Modern Butterfly collection is beautiful! I love how from afar you can’t even tell its butterflies, But looks like gorgeous swirls till you have a closer look! I think it would look beautiful in our butter yellow kitchen! Any of these are great choices but the butterflies have me!
My favorite setting is Modern Butterfly. It reminds me of a painting, so colorful and unique.
The Mikasa Love Story is exquisite. It has the perfect amount of color in the silver to add interest and the swirling hearts add a touch of whimsy.
I like the Mikasa Facebook Page
the parchment is nice because it is simple and would match any occasion!
italian countryside :)
Italian Countryside. Love the simplicity of white plates – they go with everything!
Italian Countryside is my favorite…I am Italian-American and grew up loving the subtle details of Italian culture that were immersed in my childhood. These plates remind me of my grandmother’s kitchen! :-)
They are all so beautiful…i really dont have a superb set in our kitchen, actually almost every piece has a crack in it (they are over 10 years old). I love the parchment because of its shine. The pattern is classy and it seems like it will never go out of style. This would be a set for special occasions that would be babied and hand washed with care!
I just ADORE Parchment! This may mean I would have to actually cook now, but that’s ok! It would be worth it on such a beautiful setting.
Modern butterfly is actually my favorite pattern. I am surprised by how much I love this pattern, but it is so different that it is hard to keep my eyes away from it!!
Italian Countryside is stunning. Its simplicity would look beautiful with any accent peices I add to it. Timeless and elegant-its a style that will last through the ages-just like our love! Corny-but TRUE!
Love Mikasa
So simple, so pure! Would like to have one set Parchment!
The modern butterfly is adorable but I think the parchment is my favorite. So classy!
I think the Italian Counrtyside set is absolutely beautiful. Its simplicity would really serve to highlight the wonderful meals my fiancé makes! Thank you Mikasa and GWS for the giveaway!
I absolutely LOVE the Love Story design! This specific design indeed tells a story of two people that fell in love. It’s a modern design that has a splash of love right on the place setting! I think that it truly represents the union of marriage and how two people are enmeshed together as one! I would be so happy if my fiance, soon to be husband, and I had this place setting for our first home together! I believe that he too would also fall in love with this specific design!
I love, love , love story thank you for the Give Away,

I love Mikasa! We picked out the Spun Charcoal for our wedding china and are so happy with it that we use it more than our “everyday” dishes (which aren’t nearly as pretty or durable!)

I love the Italian Countryside pattern! It’s simple enough to use every day but it can easily be dressed up for a dinner party!

I have always loved Italian Countryside:)I have never had any Mikasa. Actually still using husbands randomdishes from graduate school 15 years ago. Just had an antique china cabinet refinished and would love to put this in it.
Italian Countryside, no question. I have loved and dreamed about having a set for years. Still using my husband’s random dishes from graduate school 15 years ago:) Would be honored and blessed to have this in my home…
I think the Parchment set is beautiful! It’s classic in style, but the color makes it modern. Love it!
I love mikasa’s designs, it is so hard for me to pick just one! My fiance and I registered for the chocolate swirl, one of the few designs by anyone that we could both agree on.
I truly LOVE the “Italian countryside”! It is beautiful and timeless, exactly what I am looking for that would complete my dinnerware set. It matches perfectly with everything!
I love the classic look of the Italian Countryside collection!!!
I love the parchment. It would be perfect for hosting dinner parties or for holiday gatherings! I would love to eat a delish meal with friends and family off the parchment set!
I’m torn between Parchment and Italian Country side.. both stunning!
Italian Countryside – classy and classic! LOVE!
I love the Italian Countryside plates. I like those best because I’m more of a texture than a pattern person. I think the setting could be dressed up or down and would go well with a lot of different decors!
The Italian Countryside set is absolutely classic and would look great with so many different styles of decor!
I for sure love the Italian countryside the best or even the butterfly one for the color. But I just love the simpleness of that one and how it could go with anything I buy!
I love the Modern butterfly! I love the colors and it’ll be a great start to my new life in the UK with my love <3
I love the Butterfly setting because it’s just so happy and sweet!
Me and my beau are a mixture of modern meets elegant and parchment is a beautiful melding of both =)
I absolutely love the Italian Countryside setting! It is so classic and elegant!
I ADORE the Italian Countryside! It would go with pretty much any occasion.
My fiance and I have been debating on whether to register for china. When we came across the Modern Butterfly pattern, we fell in love with it. He loves the bright, bold colors and I love the butterflies (my mother used to call me her little butterfly growing up). The pattern is whimsical and perfectly blends our two styles. We would love to start off our new lives together with such a beautiful china pattern.
I’m in LOVE with the Italian Countryside set! It’s so classic and fun at the same time. :)
Modern Butterfly. I love butterflies, the remind me of my grandmother. And I love all the color because it fits my personality.
The Parchment is a beautiful basic, that would go well with an accent color. Thanks for the giveaway!
Modern Butterfly is my favorite! I love the fun colors and print.
The love story is beautifully simple! I love it!
I love the parchment pattern, simply and would be a great accent to any table decor.
i love modern butterfly…..so bright & fun! good luck everyone!!!
The Parchment collection is crisp, modern, and elegant. It’s dressed up but not fussy and is the perfect dinnerware for parties and special meals with family and friends. Even simple fare would be elevated on dishes this pretty.
It’s hard to decide! The modern butterfly is so unique and bright, but I love parchment. Very classy and elegant.
I am a chef and my fiance loves to eat. We would love to eat off of those Italian Countryside Plates.
I love love LOVE the Parchement pattern! I wish it had an uneven edge, but I think it is gorgeous! :) Very elegant. I have been very ill for many years, and am finally healthy enough to get married, but now we are drowning in hospital bills, so we have had to put off our wedding again… ah well, what’s another year after 22 of them? Still, I would LOVE to win an elegant set of my favorite Mikasa pattern. I have loved it for years, just as I have loved Jonathan for years. :) Some things never change. :)
Italian Countryside set all the way. As im to far away in the corner of the world to go to Italy Id love to just pretend that im there in the afternoon in the garden, having ‘tea’ and eating cake of these plates ;)
The Parchment pattern is my favorite, it would go well with anything and is very modern which is just like us!
Italian Countryside. Simple + elegant = beautiful.
OBSESSED with the Modern Butterfly :] so pretty
LoVe Modern Butterfly, would make and meal sweet
The Italian Countryside really is amazing. So simple and timeless. I can see these plates in my kitchen and they would look beautiful! Pops of color would really look great with these.
I love love love the Italian Countryside set! I love to try out new recipes for my fiancee and this classic white set will work perfectly to showcase the meals I make. What gives it character as well is the ruffle like detailing!
in love with the modern butterfly set…it is DIVINE! <3
We are registered already for the Mikasa Live Story plates! (and picture frames, vases, etc.) so we would *love* to win that set!
Italian Countryside is truly a classic! I adore its timeless beauty!
The burst of fresh new season colours brings Italian villas, pasta, red wine, chocolate, romance and rustic countryside of sunflowers to our home.
Italian Countryside.
I live in Australia, so the chances of shipping these would be very small. But I just had to leave a comment because my new hubby and I just love Mikasa fine dinnerwear.
Good luck ladies :-)
I love the love story it would go with my kicthen and i love that it is not busy just a simple desgin on it. Awesome!!!!
I love the LOVE–is it because Valentine’s Day is coming?
I love the Parchment setting, classic and modern. Will last a lifetime!
The Parchment Set is my fave. It is classic, elegant and I like that it seems to be fairly thin. Thank you for the giveaway!
I have always loved the Parchment China and could not wait till my day came that I could register for it! It is classic, yet still maintains some modern elegance. However, seeing Love Story may have changed my mind! Love Story is just so whimsical and magical…. much like love! A swirly pattern of a journey-a relationship- that ends in a heart…a symbol of love everlasting.
I love the pattern on Love Story b/c it’s simple yet elegant and whimsical. =)
I like the Love Story
Modern Butterfly is everything in a place setting I have always been afraid to love. Its beautiful, classy while still full of life! This is how you decorate with butterflies properly!
I love the Garden Palette Bouquet – it is colourful and yet complex, and suits very well the personality of my home and of my upcoming wedding (May 2013). :)
My favorite design is definitely Italian Countryside. I like it for two reasons. First, I’m not fancy or over the top, I like plain and simple and when I saw the Italian Countryside, I knew that was me. Secondly, they look exactly like my grandma’s place settings. My grandma is the best cook I know and she loves doing it. She’s almost 80 and she still has everyone over for Christmas and Thanksgiving meals and she always enjoys what she does. My grandpa cooks too, well helps my grandma cook. They’re ever in the kitchen trying a new dish or helping each other out and of course sneaking a bit of the meal. Their love is amazing to see and it’s awesome to watch them together, even if they’re just cooking or in the kitchen, or telling stories about their lives. And when I see Italian Countryside, all those memories come back.
I absolutely love love LOVE the Parchment set! Thanks for this opportunity to win something so beautiful!
I love the Italian Countryside pattern. Would love to win this for my brother’s upcoming wedding.
The Italian Countryside is so simple and elegant. I am getting married in a few months and the plates we are serving dinner on look so similar. I loved them so much that I joked with our caterer about how much I wanted to keep some!
We love to have dinner parties serving rustic Italian cuisine, so the Italian Countryside would be a dream come true to own. Thanks!
Love the Parchment it is so simple yet elegant. Thanks for the giveaway!!
I really like the spirit of Modern Butterfly! Colorful and fun!
Love the Italian Countryside… truthfully I would love any complete dinner set. After moving and renovations my dinner table always seems to be decorated with an eclectic mess of plates that were first loved by parents, in-laws and siblings and now are only just tolerated by us!
My mom would adore the Modern Butterfly set! She loves butterflies and I would love to be able to give the happiest couple I know such a beautiful gift!!
Modern Butterfly is such a fun pattern. It reminds me of a great flirty, summer party-dress and would be the perfect china pattern for entertaining! The fact that this pattern is also available in a large bowl and a serving platter expands your options even more. Though this pattern is modern is could easily be combined with your favorite thrift store finds or a more traditional floral Mikasa pattern for a fun, mix-and-match, vintage tea-party feel. Summer wedding bliss!
I love the Italian Countryside. Its got that crisp, clean look that would match a variety of tablescrapes- holiday, party, formal dinner, everyday use, whatever! :)
I love the parchment design because it fits us the best. A little bit of fun, romantic, and whimsical all in one. ^_^
I love the italian. Its a kind of Place setting that make me thing of a nice summerday and it match with any kind of Style.
Adoreiiii, eu quero muito ganhar, manda essa belezinha para o Brasil.. O Love é perfeito.
The Love Story pattern is my favorite. My Fiance’s grandparents gave us the Mikasa champagne glasses at our engagement party to use for our first toast as Mr. and Mrs. and to have the whole set would be the perfect wedding gift!!
I love the Italian country side! It’s just classic and never out of date! It can be used for parties or everyday events! :)
The Italian Countryside setting is timeless and perfect. I love white or cream place settings so you can throw pops of color onto the table setting for each season/holiday/celebration. You can also then have a gorgeous table cloth or table runner and napkins with a bold print. You can dress it up or dress it down. Very lovely.
I love the parchment, classic with a little flair!
Italian country it is just so straight and to the point. A very classy set.
I am so in love with the Italian countryside place setting! Once my fiance and I are married we will be moving back out to the farm I grew up on and this would be a perfect addition to our home. It is simple yet elegant and would be the perfect canvas for fresh summer vegetables when we entertain our friends!!!
Parchment is definitely my favorite, as it’s the most classic without just being plain white. I love the others, but the Parchment is hands down the best.
I’d like to win the Modern Butterfly for myself and my lovely fiance.
It’s so hard to pick just one favorite but I think microstripe is the one!
Love story is the best I just image this set on a romantic dinner on valentines day on my dinning room with frah flowers and candles the perfect match to impress my husband of 28 years. His very particular and have a great test he thinks I don’t. It will be a huge surprise
The Italian Countryside set perfectly embodies the quaint and beautiful life my fiance and I are looking forward to starting together in just a few months. We share a love for the ocean as well as the mountains, and in a coastal cottage these dishes would look just right.
Italian countryside! You can’t go wrong with a classic white place setting!
I love the Italian Countryside pattern! My fiance and I are fulfilling a life dream and riding our bikes through Italy for our honeymoon. What better way to remember and commemorate our wedding and honeymoon than with Italian countryside dishes!

The italian countryside set would have to be my favorite. i love how clean the design is. It will most definitely fit the style of my future kitchen..clean and neutral =)
I love the Parchment. It’s classic, chic, and a little whimsical.
Oh man, that’s a tough choice! I really like the scroll work of Love Story – it’s not overly done. However, I’m going to say that my favorite is the simple elegance of Parchment.
Actually I would be thrilled to win any of these sets..they are so lovely! My fav would have to be the Modern Butterfly..so unique & pretty! Plus it would go so well with our whole color scheme in our new kitchen!! Fingers crossed & thanks for such an awesome giveaway like this!! :)
Parchment is my favorite. The grey adds a touch of elegance which can offset another accent color.
Italian Countryside. It matches our home and style perfectly!
I love Italian Countryside. The simplistic elegance has always been my style and I know my husband-to-be would also love it! love.love.love.
The Italian Countryside style is perfect. I would love to win this set!
