Noritake Rose China Occupied Japan Serving Platter, 16 1/2

  

From 1948 to 1952, Noritake tableware stamps indicated they were made in Occupied Japan. During this tough economic period, many Japanese factories had to curtail production.

In 1946, with the war just ended and resources at a premium, the company was temporarily unable to produce goods that met its high standards, so it called its products Rose China rather than Noritake. Since the production period was so limited, these items are rare and collectible despite their quality.

Measures Approximately 16 3/4 in Diameter. Marked With Rose China Made in Occupied Japan Mark. Rare and Hard to Find.
