Today I'm listing a Very Rare, Limited Production 74-Piece Set of Noritake "VICEROY" Pattern Fine China.  This is a rare shape that has a beautiful overlapping vine pattern molded in relief into the border area of the china itself.  According to my book on Noritake marks this shape was made in 1933 only.Note:  Noritake also made another pattern named Viceroy.  This was their #7222 pattern which was an ivory color and had wide gold trim around the edge followed by a thin gold ring.  This pattern was made from 1975-1986 and is quite common and readily available.Condition:  The vast majority of this set is like-new, but a few pieces have very light use.Description:  The china is a high-gloss white with gold trimmed scalloped edges.  As you can see by my close-up photo, the pattern has five equally spaced groups of white, pink, orange, blue and yellow flowers mixed with green foliage.  A single band of flowers composed of the same colors divide the groups and circle the pieces on the verge line.  Next there is an almond/cream colored area that extends from the verge line in about 1 1/4" and terminates at a decorative band of yellow scrolls that alternate with small red buds.  The center area of the pieces are white.  This is the only blank/shape of Noritake china that I could find in my books that feature the beautiful embossed overlapping vines that are molded into the white-ware blanks and extend all around the border area of the pieces.   According to the mark on the back of the pieces, the Viceroy pattern and this unique blank/shape were only made in 1933.  Here is a list of the pieces included along with specific conditions:Five Cups (2 1/8" tall) like-new - the others had cracks and were discardedTwelve saucers (lightly used)Eleven 10" Dinner Plates (lightly used, some have a small wear spot from stacking).Twelve 7 5/8" Salad Plates (lightly used)Eight 5 1/2" Fruit/Sauce Bowls (light use to like-new)Nine 6 3/8" Bread & Butter Plates (mostly unused)Nine 7 5/8" Soup Bowls (very light use)One 10" Oval vegetable bowl (handled) like-newOne 9" Oval Relish Dish (like-new)One 9" Footed, Covered Casserole (unique gold decorated handles) like-newOne Gravy Boat W/Attached Under-plate (like-new)One Cover for Sugar Bowl (no bowl)One Creamer (like-new)One 11 3/4" long x 8 3/4" wide Oval Serving Platter (like-new)One 16 1/4" long x 12" wide Oval serving Platter (like-new)This is a very rare and unique set of Noritake Fine China and it includes many hard-to-find serving pieces, If you have a partial set of this pattern and have been searching for pieces to complete it, don't pass this wonderful set up - in all likelihood, you won't ever set this many pieces again in your lifetime (especially in this condition)!  The matching services that I checked didn't have any in stock.IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ:  Order with confidence, I offer a 7-day money back guarantee (I don't refund postage & insurance).  For a complete list of my selling & return policies please click on the blue and red "ME" symbol which is located on the right side of each listing under "Meet The Seller" (just behind my user I.D. and feedback number).
