Hi Heidi,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Japanese Kutani porcelain refers to a distinctive style of Japanese porcelain that originated in the Kutani region of Ishikawa Prefecture during the 17th century. It is renowned for its vibrant colors, bold designs, and detailed overglaze painting.
Unlike some Japanese porcelain makers who catered exclusively to the export/tourist market like Noritake and Nippon, Kutaniware was used by Japanese as well; some collectors consider it more "authentically" Japanese than those made by Noritake and Nippon that had a decidedly Western aesthetic.

While Nippon and Noritake porcelain dinner services usually bring $5-8 PER PIECE, Kutaniware has a slightly higher value at auction - $8-10/piece.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
