Hi Kristen, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Noritake was one of the most popular names for dinnerware in the mid 20th Century; not only was it handsome and serviceable but it was also comparatively affordable. Increasingly few people today, however, entertain in such a formal way and the market is saturated with services of varying sizes, colors, etc. Because there is less demand than supply, fair-market / auction prices for Noritake remain low, typically bringing $4-8 PER PIECE. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A vintage 19-piece Noritake parcel gilt part dinner service In the "Embrace" pattern (#2755), made in Japan, bearing the Nippon Toki "N" backstamp in use from 1962, comprising: 3 dinner plates 4 salad plates 4 dessert plates 4 tea cups with 4 saucers White ground with cobalt border with floral decoration and gilt trim CONDITION: client warrants this to be in "perfect condition." Value assumes no chips, breaks, repairs or losses. PROVENANCE: inherited $75-150 for the set* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
