I have had Mikasa bone china everyday dishes for about 25 years. Through out the years I had very few breakage. They still looked great, but I wanted white dishes now, so I found the "Trellis" bone china and purchased it. I love the clean look with yet a pretty design. I hope they will be as durable as my old set of dishes were. I hated to get rid of them, but I wanted a change. I'm happy I found these.
