French or Italian? Take the poll please!!!

I need to register for casual china pronto! The fam wants to start buying for the e party(this will be my everday or sunday dinner with the whole fam-damily plates....this is not my fine)

I am going very plain and neutral with these.....so they match everything and I can switch up linens...especially since I will use these more!!

I am torn between Mikasa's Italian Countryside and French Countryside.

I like Italian because of the darker color and its a little more rustic looking..not that foofy.

I like french because of its simple lines and elegance.

Cons....Am wondering if the dark cream on the Italian will look too 'dark'.....Thinking the French may be too 'charlotte yorkish' for my taste.

I like them both..can't seem to weigh out my options.

I'd love to hear pros and cons about what you think...or if you have none...just which you prefer...I know its ultimately my decision...just wanna hear another side.

Oh...and I am attaching their matching casual stemware.

Italian First(cream)....French Second(white)
