6 Early Noritake Mystery Mark #80 Bread & Butter Plates Such a pretty design on these 6 1/8 inches in diameter bread & butter/pie plates!

Handpainted black and mustard geometric pattern borders the gold edging. A pale yellow color surrounds the white central portion, and two sides of the plate are decorated with black and mustard urns/compotes filled with fruit and leaves. Garlands of violet flowers and leaves complement the urn designs.

Alden’s book of Noritake pattern identification show this to be an exact match to Mystery Mark #80, with the year dating between 1918 and the 1920’s. The backside of the plates have the red Noritake marking, the letter M in a wreath, handpainted, and Japan.

There are some light scratch marks in the center white area on a few of the plates, most likely made from stacking the plates, rather than utensil marks. They have no chips, cracks, or flakes, or any loss to the vivid print, and appear to be unused.
 

1940's New York China Company Tea Pot, Creamer & Sugar Beautiful robin’s egg blue iridescent coloring and gold enhancements make this tea set very attractive and eye-catching.

Manufactured by New York China and Glass Company, the set consists of a teapot which stands 6 3/4 inches tall to the top of lid and measures 9 inches across from handle to end of spout. The creamer is 3 1/2 inches tall and is 3 3/4 inches across the top opening. The sugar bowl stands 3 1/2 inches tall without the lid which adds another 2 1/4 inches in height.

All the pieces have bright, vivid coloring and the gold trim is intact. There are no chips, cracks, or staining.

Although we were unable to exactly date this set, we believe that it was manufactured in the late 40’s – early 50’s time frame. The teapot does not have a stop lock which would be typical of the earlier produced tea wares.

Each of the pieces is stamped under the base with C & G in two squares, the trademark of the New York China Company, which was founded in 1946, and Warranted 22K Gold.

The three 1950 time frame pieces we offer are a 10 x 12 inch Jack of Diamonds platter, and two 8 x 9 1/2 inch dinner plates, that can easily be used as serving plates to complement the platter. This trio makes a wonderful arrangement for those card sessions or fun get togethers.
