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:

That's usually negotiated with the buyer. If you sell something through an auction house, the cost of getting that thing to the auction house is at your expense and the buyer pays to get it from the auction house to wherever they are. With shipping costs on the rise, people are increasingly buying/selling locally, to keep costs down.
If I sell it, who pays for packing and shipping?
