Noritake Larue Green and Floral 74-Piece Porcelain Dinnerware Collection for Nine. c.1933
A serene green and scrolled tan border frames softened sprays of pink, yellow, and white flowers and leaf against an antique ivory background. To the center a band of sharper colored tan scrolls contrasts the bright white center. Graceful and elegant, and with its bright gold trim- and that unique square salad plate!- this gorgeous 74-piece "Larue" collection, beautifully kept for over seventy years, is why the Noritake (Morimura) name has always been regarded with great esteem.
