NORITAKE china 42200 GOLD ORANGE BLUE FLOWERS 97 PIECE DINNERWARE SET

NORITAKE china 42200 GOLD ORANGE BLUE FLOWERS 97 PIECES DINNERWARE SET. This is a wonderful vintage set that is especially nice for a brunch since it has hard to find pieces for that purpose. Since it is over 100 years old there is some ware here and there on the gold, but unless specified it is in very good condition without chips or cracks.

Included are service for 8 each of dinner(4 have a bit more wear than the others), salad and bread plates, fruit bowls, cups and saucers, demitasse cups and saucers. There are 2 each divided nut dishes, lemon plates, bon bon dishes, whipped cream bowls with under plates but only one spoon, jam jars with under plates and spoons, one lid has a tiny flea bite on the inside of the spoon opening and the other has a small piece broken off of the inside of the lid that doesn't affect the outer appearance or use. There are 2 round serving bowls, one 9 inch oval serving bowl, one 10 inch platter, a gravy boat with attached under plate, and a round butter dish.

There is also a teapot with lid, a demitasse pot with lid, a covered sugar bowl and creamer, a berry creamer and muffineer shaker, and finally, a cake plate. I believe this is such a charming set. I would keep it if I didn't have another set that I love and have had for years. Not all items are shown in the original pictures, I have to get the other box here to add pictures of the remaining pieces.
