What does this mean?

Hi Judith,

Thank you for confirming the piece count.
There is a lot of vintage Noritake on the market at the moment, which keeps the fair-market (auction) value fairly low, despite the relatively high prices one must pay to buy it retail.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
