Title: don't buy a single piece, buy a set for less!
Review: This is a very nice design, I like it a lot: matte glaze on the outside, no other ornaments.However, it doesn't make sense, when sets go on big sale and single pieces separately cost far more than a set containing all these pieces. "Mikasa Swirl 5-Piece Serving Set", now for $40.48, contains a 12" Platter offered for $39.99, a Vegetable Bowl for $34.99, a Creamer for $21.99, and a Sugar Bowl for $27.99 (the 5th piece is the sugar bowl lid). Needless to say, I am buying the set, so I have this platter, and a jam bowl and milk server, sugar bowl and creamer and a vegetable bowl essentially for free. There is more nonsense in this design current pricing, e.g. "Mikasa Swirl 4-Piece Place Setting, Service for 1" is now offered for just $18.60, with single pieces priced higher than the entire set! Too bad I don't need more plates nor cereal bowls nor mugs.Also, watch out, since a single cereal bowl link points to this vegetable bowl.
