Hi Kristen,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Noritake was one of the most popular names for dinnerware in the mid 20th Century; not only was it handsome and serviceable but it was also comparatively affordable. Increasingly few people today, however, entertain in such a formal way and the market is saturated with services of varying sizes, colors, etc. Because there is less demand than supply, fair-market / auction prices for Noritake remain low, typically bringing approximately $5-8 PER PIECE, though if services have an evenly matched number of place settings (yours are uneven), they can warrant a slightly higher per-piece value.

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