Mikasa

Mikasa, a division of Lifetime Brands, Inc., is proud to be recognized worldwide as the leader in tabletop fashion in dinnerware, crystal stemware, barware, flatware and decorative accessories. Quality and great design have been synonymous with the Mikasa brand name for over a half-century.

George Aratani founded Mikasa as ""American Commercial Inc."" in the state of California in 1948. Initially a dinnerware importer, Mikasa grew into a dinnerware wholesaler over the next twenty years, supplying dinnerware to Bloomingdales, Macy’s, May Department Stores Company and other fine retailers. In 1957, the brand name Mikasa was introduced to the American public.

During the 1970s, Mikasa diversified its product lines, augmenting its already successful dinnerware lines with the introduction of crystal stemware, stainless flatware, crystal gifts and picture frames, ceramic vases, table linens and decorative accessories. 

Mikasa is the result of the typical American success story and has plans to continue the growth of its retail division throughout the United States in the years to come.

Mikasa is proudly recognized as the leader in tabletop fashion in dinnerware, crystal stemware, barware, flatware and decorative accessories for the home. Quality and great design are synonymous with the Mikasa brand. The world's finest tabletop designers, working with the best factories and using the most advanced technology in the industry, create products that are not only beautiful and well-made, but suitably priced for everyone's lifestyle.

Yet even though we have a vast assortment of patterns, shapes and materials from which to choose, all materials and manufacturing processes are strictly monitored for quality assurance.
