Hi Michele, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Noritake was an extremely popular maker of dinner services in the mid/late 20th Century but fewer people entertain so formally these days so supply outweighs demand, keeping the secondary (AUCTION) market low. While there are websites that RETAIL vintage sets or even individual pieces of Noritake (like Replacements.com), sets such as this typically bring ON AVERAGE of about $3-8 PER PIECE. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A 79-piece vintage Noritake parcel silver gilt Ivory China part dinner service for 12 In the "Heather" pattern (#7548), made in Japan, bearing the Nippon Toki "N" mark in use from 1953 both in Japan and North America and is currently in use Comprising: 12 dinner plates 12 luncheon plates 12 bread/butter plates 12 soup plates 12 cups with 12 saucers 1 oval serving bowl 1 round serving bowl 1 large platter 1 small platter 1 cream pitcher 1 sugar bowl 1 gravy boat CONDITION: in new/mint condition with packaging PROVENANCE: inherited $250-350 for the set* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
