Service for 16 including serving dishes. Excellent condition
This china was purchased in Japan in the 60s, It was still crated when I bought it in 1990
Hi Debbie,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. In this service for 16, how many pieces - and which ones - are in each place setting? (I'll need the number of dinner plates, salad plates, entree plates, soup plates, tea or coffee cups and saucers, bread and butter plates). To have an exact piece count, I will also need to know which serving dishes you have.
Thanks!
Delia
Not a problem!
Please keep in mind that the values Mearto provides are fair-market, for auction and are almost always well below the retail or asking price on such sites as Replacements.com. In general, most vintage Noritake sets are priced at about $1-2 PER PIECE, though they often sell for a bit more at auction.
Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination or more concise information, this is:

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you for using Mearto.
Are you kidding??? I received another appraisal at $800-$1,000!!! I paid $500 for it 30 years ago!!!
I would not be surprised to see this set sell for between $400-600 at auction today; however, the current trend at auction - not least because there are lots of Noritake sets on the market at the moment and not as much demand - is to put a low estimate on lots to generate interest and excitement among bidders. but if you have an offer between $800 and $1,000 you should take it as I would be very surprised to see this bring that amount at auction.
So, how do I sell it at auction?

Hi Delia,
Oh boy! The china has been packed up for 14 years! Let's see, I believe ....there are 16 dinner plates, 16 dessert plates, 16 bowls, 16 coffee cups, 16 saucers. There is a large meat plate, a smaller meat plate, a larger serving bowl, a smaller serving bowl, and a gravy boat and saucer. There may be more, but without opening all of the boxes, I'm not 100% sure. I hope this helps.
