The writing on the spoon was in the photo "Noritake 18-8" So shiney my phone kept being reflected in pic so I had to angle it. Maybe that's why it's not clear, sorry about that. Also this a six piece set in original box, wrapped and never used. Appreciate you helping on figuring this out.

Let me know if you need more photos as long as it won't cost any additional..

Thanks Aleta, for the additional information and photos; I've got all I need (additional photos for any individual appraisal inquiry are never an additional cost). If you had the tea pot, cream pitcher and sugar bowl, it would be more desirable; as it is, most Noritake sets average $1-2 PER PIECE so the fact that this is in mint/new condition in its original factory packaging adds to its value.
