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, Macys, May Department Stores Company and other fine retailers. In 1957, the brand name Mikasa was introduced to the American public.
The Mikasa Aries pattern is a classic dinnerware design that features a wheat motif with green and gray stalks, typically placed on the left side of the pieces. This pattern was part of Mikasa's Stone Manor collection and was made from 1975 to 1979. The design showcases a natural, earthy aesthetic that reflects the simplicity and charm of mid-20th-century tableware.
