Noritake tea set - c1908? Value?

Hi all

I have a hand painted Noritake tea set that I am unsure of whether to keep. It is so fragile and each time I move house I worry it’ll break. I’m considering letting it go but wanted to know if it was a) from the early period of Noritake (I think based on the stamp?) and b) what sort of value it might have?

Thank you in advance

Welcome, topher!! Very pretty set.

Have you already read the Noritake section on the Gotheborg site? They do show several versions of this mark and give an earliest registration for it of 1908. But it appears to have been used until some time in the 1920's, so there is more of a "range" than just a single year that could apply.

 

Thank you, Bakersgma!

Ah yes, of course. Thank you for the resource. The set’s style doesn’t help narrow it down.

There is much online about Noritake from this period sadly.

 

I have a modest collection myself, so I have a real soft spot for your set. I'm quite frugal though so I only buy at thrifts.

I understand that you are concerned about loss or damage during a move, but trying to sell online makes you even more vulnerable. Or would you be selling in some other venue?

 

These are gorgeous!

 

nice set !!

 

Welcome Topher,
Very nice set. I think they would date to the mid to late twenties. Certainly after 1921
