Hi Nancy, 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 54-piece Noritake parcel gilt porcelain part dinner service for 8 In the Valdina pattern (#3854), made in Japan, bearing the Morimura "M" backstamp in use from 1921-1940, comprising: 7 dinner plates 8 salad or dessert plates (8-1/2 inches diameter) 7 appetizer plates (6-1/4 inches) 11 cups and 12 saucers 1 cream pitcher 1 sugar bowl 1 large serving bowl 2 smaller ones 2 platters, one small and one larger 1 shallow oval serving bowl 1 small bowl CONDITION: This service appears to be in good condition with only very minor losses. Value assumes no breaks, repairs or replacements. PROVENANCE: Inherited $250-450 for the set* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto. ~ Delia
