Noritake, barely used been in safe storage over 20yrs
Hi Fiona,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
There is a LOT of Noritake on the marketplace right now and, with fewer people entertaining in a high style anymore, there is less demand than supply so prices for sets - particularly small sets as yours - are comparatively modest in value.
I've guessed at the piece count based on the photos and what you've told me so if there are additional service pieces (platters, pitchers, tureens, etc) please let me know what needs to be changed.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage 36-piece Noritake parcel gilt Contemporary Fine China part dinner service for 6
In the Roselane pattern, made in the Philippines, bearing the black backstamp in use from 1970, comprising:
6 dinner plates
6 salad plates
6 fruit bowls
6 bread & butter plates
6 cups with 6 saucers
CONDITION: appears to be in good condition; value assumes no chips, breaks, cracks or repairs.
PROVENANCE: inherited
$ 150-250 for the set*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
