Re: Noritake (RC Japan) China Tea Set for 5
Is there any other info other than the RC Japan mark? This page https://noritakechina.com/vintage-retired-patterns/ has several suggestions for sites that sell retired Noritake china. If there is a number or name on any of your pieces that would help.
Re: Noritake (RC Japan) China Tea Set for 5
As you can see on the photo, there are no other marks except the RC Japan. Thanks for asking.

You’re welcome. This place https://www.robbinsnest.com/china/noritake/ seems to have the most examples of Noritake patterns. Also did a Royal Crockery Japan search but could not find your pattern.

Re: Noritake (RC Japan) China Tea Set for 5
I appreciate your help. In your opinion, based on what you've come across related to my tea set question, how much would you consider to be a reasonable selling price for the set?

Re: Noritake (RC Japan) China Tea Set for 5
This is only a guess based on what I’m seeing on Etsy and eBay but I’d think around $75 plus shipping costs. Since we’ve not been able to find your pattern there is the chance that it’s rarer and worth more. I’m not an expert, just googling for info.
