We bought ours when Mikasa was 'last chance' remaindering them out.
Its a good quality 'everyday-fancy' set of tableware.
The bookcase is US normal 1910 era design. We like the Craftsman, as it is called here, furniture and between inheriting some and buying the rest - before it became popular and prices skyrocketed - we have quite a bit of it. Looks great in our 1910 era mud hut adobe home.
