13 Piece Dinnerware Appraisal

Noritake Fairmont Dinner Plates Set - 13 Pieces

This is a collection of 13 authentic Noritake dinner plates in the 'Fairmont' pattern (pattern number 6102). These fine china plates are characterized by a high-glaze white porcelain body, providing a crisp and elegant canvas for the decorative elements. The rim features a refined band of grey floral scrolls and delicate filigree, accented by a thin platinum or silver-toned trim on the outer edge, typical of mid-century Japanese ceramics manufacturing. The Fairmont pattern was produced between 1960 and 1978, making these pieces classic examples of vintage mid-century modern tableware. Each plate displays a stackable, uniform construction with a circular footprint and a subtle recessed center. The craftsmanship reflects Noritake's historical reputation for durability and fine finishing. In terms of condition, while specific individual flaws are not highlighted in the overview image, the stack appears uniform with no visible major chips or cracks on the leading edges of the rim. Potential buyers should look for minor utensil scratches in the central glaze or wear to the metallic trim due to age and cleaning. The underside would contain the manufacturer's backstamp indicating 'Noritake', 'Japan', and the pattern name 'Fairmont'. This set represents a substantial quantity for collectors or hosts looking for high-quality vintage dinnerware.
