Noritake Christmas Ball Porcelain Hand Painted 6-Piece Serving Platter/Tray/ Cake Plate/ Mayonnaise Bowl Set (c.1912-1991)

Produced from 1906 to 1991, Noritake's most opulent pattern, considered one of the most beautiful ever made, is generally known as design number 16034, 43061, or 175, and has been long admired for its hand-painted 24Kt gold enameled border detail. Noritake's quality porcelain presents a bright white center and a light yellow, hand-tinted border, a subtle base for the elegance of gold gilt beaded rims, raised scrolls, floral bulbs, and its crowning glory, interpreted as the ornamental "Christmas Ball". This hand-painted Christmas Ball 7-piece set of medium/small platters, cake plate, round serving tray, and chip and dip base tray will, no doubt, add a striking touch to your Holiday dessert presentation, all well-made vintage elegance from one of the most esteemed china manufacturers.  The chip and dip plate does not have the dipping bowl but will match elegantly with any white or gold detailed fine china bowl. Not microwave safe; hand washing is recommended.  Origin: Japan; pre-owned Di
