36 piece dinnerware sets image
K T
My grandma has an old China dinner set that my grandpa got for her in 1955 in Japan. It's Noritake and it has the name and an 'N' in a ring of wheat, but there is no ID number or anything other than "Nippon Toki Kaisha" underneath the wheat. The set is bone china and around the edges on the plates, there is a thin ribbon of what looks like silver, but it sometimes looks like gold. And then there is another little ribbon of the same thing around the part where the food goes. I think she's looking for some replacements but we don't know what it's called or anything.
She also has another set that is from 1995 (Bone China Purity White #4726), it looks almost like the older set but not quite, and we don't know anything on that set either.
Any information will be wonderful!
Answer
The Nippon Toki Kaisha, Ltd. established at 510, Mukai, Noritake,Takaha-mura, Aichi-gun, Aichi-ken. (Now, 3-1-36, Noritake Shinmachi, Nishi-ku, Nagoya, Japan) (The English name was changed to Noritake Co., limited in 1963)
In January 1, 1904 the Nippon Toki Kaisha Ltd - the forerunner to the present Noritake Company - was formed. The factory was located near a source of good and plentiful raw materials and in a community rich with skilled potters. The site was the small village of Noritake near Nagoya, the center of Japan's ceramic production, on the main island of Honshu. The first Japanese registry for a Noritake back stamp is reported as 1908 for use in Japan.
In 1910 the first china products from the new company could leave Japan for the U.S. The first reported U.S. registry for a Noritake back stamp for importing is 1911. Not not until 1914 after a long series of trials and errors the first fine porcelain dinnerware suitable for export was produced. On of the first patterns to be produces was the "Sedan" (11292). A piece of the dinnerware in the Noritake factory in Nagoya shows this to be a bleak white plate with a cream border of small flower sprays and the typical Noritake back stamp, the letter "M" in a wreath and the words "Hand painted." As a general rule the earliest dinnerware plates were mostly decorated with a liberal applications of gold. To identify the early Noritake porcelain, it is important to remember their intended adaption to the western taste. The "M in a wreath" mark was used between c 1914 until 1940.
In 1953 the letter "N" for "Noritake" in a wreath replaced the long used "M" in a wreath. According to collectors, the number of known different Noritake marks are today more then 400.
Try ebay to find replacements. I would find your exact one, but there are a bunch to look through in different e-stores across the internet.
