Hi Jodie, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. This is a dessert service and probably would have originally had tea and coffee pots, a cream pitcher, sugar bowl, waste bowl (for used tea leaves) and a larger platter for cake, cookies etc. Most existing dessert services range in price from $1-10 per piece, with the higher prices paid for the larger sets. Your set is pretty small (and you have a mismatched number of cups and saucers) but the landscape decoration is quite wonderful and comparatively rare, so the pieces in this set are worth about $4-6 each. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: An antique 29-piece Noritake hand-painted porcelain dessert set unattributed landscape pattern, made in Japan, bearing the "Komaru" backstamp in use from 1908, comprising: 11 cups (with windmill scene) 12 saucers (with sunset/tropical? scene) 6 dessert plates (with haystack and reapers scene) CONDITION: appear to be in good condition commensurate with age and use. PROVENANCE: inherited $ 125-175 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, and thank you again for using Mearto.
