Noritake M VALIERE , 8 Assorted Pieces, Ca. 1933 - best 1953, Japan, Estate Sale, Appear Unused

best An Estate Sale find . . . Crafted and hand painted in Japan, ca. 1933 - 1953, these eight assorted pieces remain in beautiful antique / vintage condition and actually appear unused.

All pieces are stamped in gold on the bottom : NORITAKE CHINA M ( within wreath ) HANDPAINTED JAPAN, VALIERE, U.S. DESIGN PAT. APPLIED FOR 95632.

Rich colors of cream, gold, black and pure white make-up the intricate and regal pattern.

The pieces are :

4 Cups with handles measuring 2 1/4" high with a 3 5/8" top opening
2 Saucers, 5 1/2" in diameter
2 Fruit / Dessert / Sauce Bowls, 5 1/2" diameter and about 1" in depth

All designs are clear and vibrant. I can see minute areas of gold fading on the four cup handles near their base ; and very slight gold fading on the interior fine gold circular design on one of the saucers.

Overall, I believe these eight pieces to be in excellent condition.

No microwave or dishwasher use due to the delicate nature of the china, and the gold hand painted artwork.
