Mikasa's Antique White pieces are a simple, creamy off-white in color, but their slightly formal, architectural style draws attention; these are not plain dishes, but merely understated. Antique White is an Ultima pattern; Ultima is one of Mikasa's patented chip-resistant fine china styles, ultra-sturdy and high-fired to be useful under a wide temperature range.
The Antique White tall cappuccino mug is fluted like a sculpted pillar; the sides rise to a flared rim, with a textured triple line separating the two. As with the shorter Antique White mug, the gently flare of the rim accommodates a thick cap of frothed milk foam. The well-balanced mug handle also has the same subtle fluting. Mikasa's Antique White collection includes matching shorter cappuccino mugs and a sugar/creamer set, as well as full 5-piece place settings and a wide range of serving pieces.
Mikasa Ultima pieces--except for those with metallic ornamentation--are safe for use in the microwave and can withstand freezer-to-oven temperature changes. They are also dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. The 12-ounce tall cappuccino mug stands 4-1/2 inches tall and has a 3-1/2-inch diameter (5 inches across including handle). Mikasa guarantees Ultima products not to break or chip for two years from the date of purchase and will replace any piece damaged under conditions of normal household use. --Garland Withers
