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. |
