Presenting a splendidly organized and illustrated book to simplify the identification of and search for heirloom sets of Noritake china. It consists of four sections showing some 700 patterns (1891-1953) with their backmarks, names and numbers, and hundreds of color photos. Offering several newly discovered patterns and adding significantly to the study of Oriental porcelains, this book will be a great relief to the owners, collectors, and dealers who must cope with the many mysteries related to early Noritake china. 2000 values. AUTHORBIO: Aimee Alden was a Noritake collector and dealer for many years, and she authored two works, Early Noritake China in 1987, and Collector's Encyclopedia of Early Noritake in 1995. REVIEW: This book deals solely with tableware produced by the company founded by the Morimura family between about 1891 and the 1950s, when today's familiar "N-in-wreath" trademark was adopted by the Noritake Company and post-World War II exporting was resumed.

User freindly and Informative - A MUST for any Collector!,
By Jerette (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collectors Encyclopedia of Early Noritake Porcelain (Hardcover)
I found this book to be logical and informative. The foundation of this book is based upon the chronilogical use of each mark. The patterns are then listed alphabetically within the time period that "mark" was used. Because of this book - all my freinds and colleages think of me as a "Early Noritake Expert" - I dont have the heart to tell them that I am not! I highly recommend this book to any and all collectors and/or dealers of Noritake!

This review is from: Collectors Encyclopedia of Early Noritake Porcelain (Hardcover)
I found this book to be very useful. It's very well organized and well written. An only suggestion for the next edition is to have glossier/brighter/clearer photographs.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Collectors Encyclopedia of Early Noritake Porcelain (Hardcover)
I inherited my grandmother's Noritake china set when she died, and wanted to know the year of production and what it was worth. The pictures of the maker's marks and patterns were very useful. I discovered our pattern was made in 1931, and was worth about $2,500! Not that I would ever part with such a sentimental gift...It's just nice to know the history of something. Thanks to the author for her research!
