Rare Item: Old Noritake Noritake Christmas Ball Bouillon Cup and Saucers Cup & Saucer Plus Plate Cup: Approximately 9.8 x 5.0 cm Saucer: Approximately 14 cm in diameter Plate: Approximately 19 cm in diameter It's very luxurious to use as a trio. I think it's a wonderful item just to display in a cupboard as interior decoration. Hand-painted Commonly known as M NIPPON mark This item is from 1910-1921 The backstamp is the M mark used for US exports until World War II. The date appears to be 1912. There is no backstamp on the saucer. It is a rare item from over 100 years ago. I received it from someone and kept it carefully in a cabinet. The condition is very good, and it is a valuable item that will be difficult to obtain in the future. The gold trim shines beautifully, so why not display it as an antique interior and admire it? There is some wear on the gold trim due to aging. Please understand that this is an old antique item.
