The Noritake
Museum Collection
These items,
offered for sale by the Noritake Museum in Nagoya, Japan, were
made available to members of the Noritake Collectors' Society
in 1998. Each piece is marked "Noritake Museum Collection"
and is slightly smaller in scale that the 1921 - 1942 piece it
honors. Additionally, the designs are decals, not hand-painted,
and the quality of the porcelain, thought very fine, is substantially
different from the originals. Therefore, there is little chance
for these items to be passed on as authentic.
