ANTIQUE 1950'S NORITAKE (TAN & TEAL WREATH BACKSTAMP) PASADENA 6311 PINK ROSEBUD PATTERN 66 PIECE COMPLETE DINNERWARE SET WITH LARGE SERVING, CONDIMENT, AND HOSTESS PIECES IN ABSOLUTE MINT CONDITION! ONE FAMILY OWNER AND NEVER USED, DISPLAYED ONLY IN GLASS ENCLOSED CHINA CABINET FOR OVER 50 YEARS! EVERY PIECE OF THIS 66 PIECE SET, (I DON'T COUNT LIDS IN THE SET TOTAL, HOWEVER I DID COUNT SALT & PEPPER SHAKERS AS 2 PIECES) IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, NO CHIPS, CRACKS, HAIRLINE CRACKS, UTINSIL MARKS, NOTHING, EVERY PIECE LOOKS GOOD AS NEW! SHE BEGAN THIS SET ABOUT THE YEAR IT WAS INTRODUCED AND COMPLETED IT ABOUT 1958.

SHE EVEN HAD THE OWNER OF THE SHOP SPECIAL ORDER MANY OF THE PIECES IN THIS SET SINCE THE SHOP ONLY STOCKED BASIC 5 PIECE PLACE SETTINGS AND A COUPLE SERVING PIECES. MY MOM TOLD ME MANY TIMES HOW HARD SHE WORKED AND SAVED FOR EVERY PIECE OF THIS SET. I STILL HAVE THE CEDAR HOPE CHEST SHE FIRST STORED THIS CHINA IN! MY GRANDMOTHER GAVE HER AN ANTIQUE CHINA CABINET AND DINING ROOM SUITE AS A WEDDING GIFT TO HOLD THIS SET. THIS CHINA AND THE ANTIQUE DINING ROOM SUITE WERE PRIZED POSSESSIONS OF MY MOM'S FOR MOST OF HER LIFETIME UNTIL I LOST HER AT AGE 82 ABOUT 15 OR SO YEARS AGO. THIS CHINA VERY MUCH REMINDS ME OF HER! SHE LOVED PINK SWEETHEART ROSES, SHE TOLD ME MANY TIMES HOW MY FATHER GAVE HER A SPRAY OF THEM FOR VALENTINE'S DAY WHEN SHE WAS 14 YEARS OLD. SHE FEEL IN LOVE WITH HIM AND MARRIED HIM 7 YEARS LATER ON VALENTINE'S DAY! MY PARENTS ENJOYED A LOVE FILLED MARRIAGE THAT LASTED OVER 50 YEARS, I WAS AN ONLY CHILD. MY MOM HAD 5 COMPLETE LARGE SETS OF FINE CHINA WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY, AS WELL AS MANY LARGE COLLECTIONS OF ART GLASS, POTTERY, SILVER, ANTIQUE FURNITURE AND COLLECTABLES. SHE TAUGHT ME FROM AN EARLY AGE ABOUT ASIAN, AMERICAN, ENGLISH, AND EUROPEAN CHINA, AMERICAN POTTERY THAT SHE ADORED, SHE STUDIED AND OWNED MANY BOOKS ON CHINA, POTTERY, CRYSTAL, SILVER, ETC. HER HOME WAS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH LARGE COLLECTION'S WHEN I LOST HER. THIS CHINA IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF CLASSIC NORITAKE FINE CHINA PRODUCED AT MID CENTURY FEATURING MODERNIST CLEAN LINES AND MODERN MINAMALIST DESIGN FEATURES. AFTER WWII DESIGNERS AT NORITAKE WERE HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY GERMAN DESIGNERS THAT HAD BEGAN INTRODUCING ATOMIC AGE MODERN DESIGNS, HOWEVER, THE DESIGNERS WORKING AT NORITAKE DESIGN STUDIOS MID CENTURY FELT THEY COULD DO IT BETTER! CHOOSING A CLASSIC SIMPLE PALE PINK ROSEBUD FOR THIS PATTERN WITH SILVER OUTLINE FOR DEFINITION THAT CONTRASTS PERFECTLY WITH THE PURE WHITE CHINA AND FINE PLATINUM TRIM; THIS HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED NORITAKE PATTERNS BY COLLECTOR'S TODAY!

THIS COULD BE A PERFECT COMPLETE SET OF WEDDING CHINA FOR YOU NOW IF YOU LOVE PINK SWEETHEART ROSES, AND ARE READY TO MARRY THE PERSON YOU LOVE! THIS HEIRLOOM CHINA COULD ALSO BE THE SET YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO OWN! IT MAKES A DRAMATIC AND LOVELY DISPLAY IN A NICE LARGE CHINA CABINET; I HAVE A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES OF SEEING IT OFTEN IN ONE OF MY MOMS DINING ROOMS, SHE HAD TWO IN A VERY LARGE HOME, AS WELL AS A MORNING ROOM WHERE SHE SERVED BREAKFAST.

SHE NEVER ONCE ACTUALLY USED IT THAT I KNOW OF, BUT SHE WAS SO PROUD TO OWN IT! MY FATHERS MOTHER ALSO WAS GAVE HER A LARGE SET OF ENGLISH FINE CHINA WHEN SHE MARRIED MY FATHER, AND SHE DID USE THAT CHINA SET ON HOLIDAYS AND FOR SPECIAL ENTERTAINING. I THINK THAT IT'S NICE TO KNOW AS MUCH HISTORY AS POSSIBLE ABOUT ANY ANTIQUE OR ANTIQUE SET, AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO INCLUDE THE PERSONAL OWNERSHIP HISTORY OF THIS SET.
