I have assorted pieces of ( i believe) Norataki China, 5 cake plates, 6 smaller plates, 7 tea cups, a tea pot, a tiered plate and several small odd pieces. It is blue and white and appears to have Japanese dragons in the motif. Seemed of the pieces say “ made in Occupied Japan” on the bottom, some just have assorted insignias.
From my great aunt on my fathers side and I don’t know anything else about it! 6 dinner plates but they have chips in them!
Hi Ginny,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
