Hi Michele,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Noritake was an extremely popular maker of dinner services in the mid/late 20th Century but fewer people entertain so formally these days so supply outweighs demand, keeping the secondary (AUCTION) market low. While there are websites that RETAIL vintage sets or even individual pieces of Noritake (like Replacements.com), sets such as this typically bring ON AVERAGE of about $3-8 PER PIECE.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
