Dear Lynn,

Thank you for confirming the piece count.

Noritake is notoriously soft at the moment, even for lovely sets with even numbers of cups and saucers and all of the service pieces (it would be worth a tiny bit more if it had the same / even number of cups and saucers, and a large serving tray, which would have been included with the set, originally, or at least as an option).

The following recent sales of Noritake tea sets are for you to get an idea of the current market for these sets:
