Hi Amy, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Noritake porcelain, renowned for its elegance and quality, originates from the Noritake Company in Japan, established in 1904. Recognized for intricate designs, vibrant colors, and exquisite craftsmanship, Noritake porcelain has adorned tables and collectors' shelves worldwide. This esteemed brand offers a diverse range of tableware, including dinner sets, tea sets, and decorative pieces, each embodying the marriage of tradition and innovation. The legacy of Noritake porcelain stems from a rich heritage of Japanese ceramic artistry, characterized by attention to detail and a commitment to producing timeless, functional art. It continues to be a symbol of refinement and sophistication in porcelain craftsmanship. However, it denotes a lifestyle that fewer and fewer people live these days so unfortunately, there is a wealth of it on the marketplace today with fewer buyers - a case of greater supply than demand so values - even on large sets such as yours - stays comparatively low. ..averaging just $4-6 per piece when offered at auction, which are the values Mearto appraises at.
