Joseph asks…
Does anybody know a professional or a website where I can find out the history of an antique china pattern? ?
I have tried searching for the pattern (Harmony) by Royal Stafford and have found out that they produced two patternsby that name. I have been searching for years to find peices to add to my collection (which seems to be less popular than the other) and have not found it anywhere. It is white china with a gold leaf/floral trim. If anybody has information about this pattern or where I could find out more I would appreciate the help...Happy New Year!

What is my set of antique Noritake china (pattern Petite #5507) worth?
My grandmother recently asked me to sell a set of Noritake china that she bought. The pattern is Petite #5507. In looking for a selling price, I have noticed that a full set of this pattern is pretty rare. I'm in the process of making sure it is all present to make a full set, and so far it looks like everything is in very good or mint condition. Of course different people will buy this for different prices, but what general price would a full set be worth on average?
Ling answers:
Noritake
PETITE #5507

Ling answers:
Hi. What do you consider a full set? How many plates, etc. A four serving set with accessories different pattern from the 40s recently sold for $800. Your pattern was a promotional set from Larkin mail order beauty products and soaps. Azeala was the most offered pattern, your Noritake Modjeska pattern was offered through Larkin Company in 1933. The art deco Noritake is most sought after by collectors, and sets are always a prize to collectors.

antique china/ noritake nippon patters from the 1900 Im looking for the date and name of my pattern thanks?
I have a tea pot w/ lid a creamer and surgar pot w/ lids they have the nippon seal with the M in the middel and hand painted written on it. I know it is from noritake nippon and was made earlyest 1911 latest 1921 because that was the times for the marking I have. It has alot of gold painting on it. and decorated with alot of raised gold. it has small pink flowers on it. cream and surger are reg. size but the tea pot is small. If you cant help me please direct me in the right direction.
Ling answers:
136. Mark: "M" for Morimura in a wreath, crowned by "NORITAKE" and below, "Hand painted" and "Made in Japan". The use of the "M" gives a date before 1953 when the long used "M" in a wreath was replaced with a "N" for Noritake. Until 1921 Noritake predominately marked export wares Nippon meaning Japan in Japanese, while most back stamps after 1921 state "Japan" or "Made in Japan." From the early 1920 and probably until 1940 most if not all US market patterns were designed in New York. Marks with US Design Patent Pending probably dates to this period, to whatever effect it might have had to stop other Japanese companies to copy the modern and seccessful Noritake designs.
