For your consideration is this set of Wheaton Fine China (5414) by Noritake produced between 1953 to 1967. Since 1904, Noritake has added beauty and quality to dining tables all throughout the world. The modern Noritake evolved from a commercial enterprise founded by the Morimura Brothers in New York in 1876. This trading enterprise imported chinaware, curios, paper lanterns, and other gifts. The Noritake Company was founded in 1904 in the village of Noritake, a small neighborhood of Nagoya, Japan. The primary purpose of this first facility was to produce western-style dinnerware for export. It took until 1914 to develop the first porcelain dinnerware plate fit for export. The oldest tableware plates were largely hand-painted, with a liberal use of gold. By the early 1920s, Noritake had invented assembly line techniques that enabled the mass production of high-quality, yet affordable dinnerware. Noritake is currently a recognized leader in tableware manufacture and marketing, with subsidiaries, factories, and affiliates around the world. The pieces show a white base color with accents of gold throughout. The pieces show strands of wheat in gray and golden yellow colors. The bottoms are marked reading, "Noritake China / Japan 5414 Wheaton". The collection includes a gravy bowl, a sugar cube cup, small saucer plates, a creamer pot, two large bowls, a small bowl, a large serving dish, three small plates and four large plates. They measure from 5 5/8" L x 5 5/8" W x 1 1/8" H to 8 1/4" L x 12" W x 1 1/4" H. They have a collective weight of 14 pounds and 8 ounces.*
