Description

Noritake 'Roberta' - China Coffee Set

Circa 1959 - 1964 (Noritake Collectors Website) this set would make a thoughtful 'heirloom' gift for or from someone born between these years (EG. Grandparent to grandchild).

China, is commonly defined as 'High Quality Porcelain' (Noritake Collectors Website). What sets this collection apart is that because of the Gold trim it is technically 'Fine China' and is therefore also known or commonly refered to as 'Formal China'.
