Beautiful set of 10 antique Noritake Christmas Ball porcelain plates, pattern No. 16034, hand-painted and made in Japan.
These stunning plates have been in my family for generations. I was told that my great-grandmother purchased them brand new and placed them in her china hutch, where they remained on display and were never used.
I'm 60 years old, and these plates have been sitting in our family's china hutch for as long as I can remember. They have been carefully preserved and passed down through the family.
Condition:
These plates are in absolutely immaculate condition. They honestly look like they were made yesterday. The beautiful, rich gold coloring is exceptionally vibrant, with gorgeous raised gold floral designs, intricate scrollwork, and decorative detailing.
They have always been treasured as display pieces rather than used as dinnerware.
