This product is a set of four Noritake tea cup and saucer sets, featuring a round shape and a Christmas Ball pattern. The set includes eight pieces, with a cup diameter of 3 3/4 inches and a saucer diameter of 5 1/2 inches. The material is porcelain, and the color is gold and white. The set is an antique original from Japan, manufactured between 1906 and 1921. The backstamp is painted, and the set includes a handle and is decorative. The brand is Noritake, and the set is suitable for all occasions. Production of this particular pattern started in 1906. Japan no longer allowed to put Nippon on the bottom of their products after 1921. (American import requirement). It had to read Japan after that. Slight paint loss, which I tried to photograph. Expect this to packaged with the utmost care.
