Purchased some pieces at a sale and know nothing about the dishes. Beautiful pattern but am always curious as to date made. Have not seen many pieces on the internet for sale so do not know the value either. Anyone have any knowledge about these? Thanks for your help!

Hi,
As stated above replacements.com has most of the patterns and dates. You can also google Noritake Markings and it should give you a reference to the dates. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to it and I forgot to bookmark it.

Noritake China Pattern Shelia #[phone number removed] was produced from 1948 and discontinued in 1952.

My Grandmother’s Noritake China (a different pattern) is marked with the M surrounded by the wreath and says “Made in Occupied Japan”. That dates it 1945 – 1952. Are your Shiela [phone number removed] pieces marked Occupied Japan? I don’t know when the pattern was discontinued. Hits in google shopping at $5.99 to $9.99 per plate/bowl for occupied japan pieces.

Do the pieces have a mark on them by which to identify?
From 1904 to @1914 on the word Nippon was the identifier. From 1914 to 1940 they marked some of the china with an M surrounded by a wreath.
You will have to do some research to accurately date your pieces. The web and the library or antique shops.
Wish I could be more help.
If you could, why don’t you post a picture of the mark and that may help here as there are some very good china experts here.
Good Luck!

I too have a rare Noritake pattern. Luise, from what I’m told was discontinued in 1942. There is a company called Replacements, Ltd. (I think they’re in Greensboro, NC – they specialize in this type of estate goods.
