This is a rare set of Noritake China dinnerware originating from occupied Japan, manufactured in 1940. The set is in exceptional condition with no real signs of usage like knife marks. The set includes 89 pieces, not counting the vegetable bowl or the sugar lids. *one dinner plate is missing* and the oval vegetable bowl has been repaired. See photos for details. Repair is only apparent when you look at the bottom. Comes with: eleven 10 inch dinner plates, twelve 8 inch salad plates, twelve 7 inch soup bowls, twelve 5 inch fruit/dessert bowls, twelve 6 inch bread and butter plates, twelve 6 inch saucers and twelve teacups, one large round vegetable bowl with lid, one sugar, one creamer, one 16 inch serving tray, one 12 inch serving tray, one oval vegetable bowl, and one gravy boat with attached tray. All orders are packaged and shipped with the utmost care. The set will be shipped in separate boxes for safe arrival and will have tracking numbers that will be provided to the buyers. I ship with the most affordable carrier at the time of shipment, if there is a service you prefer please indicate so when purchasing. Thanks for your interest in this hard to find set!
