Vintage Noritake Hand-painted Mayonnaise/Sauce Set

Description

Manufactured by the Noritake China Company, this exquisite set consists of an under-plate, a three-footed bowl and a serving spoon or ladle.  The Noritake China Company has been an established leader in the tableware industry since 1904.  From the beginning, the company has designed dinnerware lines for the American market in New York and produced the pieces in Japan.  This beautiful set features a bright and bold yellow and white background with a black hand-painted scroll and swag design that is a mix of Art Nouveau and Art Deco artistry.  The following are approximate measurements for each piece: under-plate (5 3/8” diameter); bowl (4 3/8” diameter by 2” height); spoon or ladle (5” in length).  The bowl and spoon are marked with the company’s green ‘M Wreath’ mark that dates these pieces between the early 1920’s to the 1940’s. Despite its vintage age, this set is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, crazing or any other evidence of damage.  It is an exceptional Noritake set displaying superior artistry and craftsmanship.
