Noritake Alicia 5762 China Set 80 Pc Service for 12 With Serving Pieces Pristine
Up for sale is a gorgeous, vintage 80-piece fine porcelain china dinnerware set by Noritake in the highly sought-after Alicia pattern, pattern number 5762. Manufactured in Japan between January 1956 and December 1964, this stunning mid-century modern design features delicate blue flowers on muted gray-stemmed vines, elegantly framed by high-polished platinum rims.
These true first-edition pieces feature the original vintage U. Design Patent Pending backstamp on the underside, dating this specific porcelain run to circa 1956 to 1957.
This massive collection provides an exceptionally thorough service setup for up to 12 guests and includes all 5 highly coveted hosting and completer serving pieces. The core 77-piece hosting set and the extra backup teacup are in amazing, pristine vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or trim wear. The porcelain glaze remains glossy, and the delicate floral detailing and platinum trim are exceptionally crisp and intact throughout. It looks as though it was strictly kept in a display cabinet and rarely, if ever, used. For complete transparency, the 13th bonus piece, which is the extra replacement bread plate, shows some slight, honest age wear on its platinum rim but is entirely free of chips or cracks.
Additionally, while 11 of the large bowls feature the classic sleek 7.5-inch Coupe style, 1 bowl is a rare 7.375-inch Rim style variant with a deeper center basin, which historically replaced a broken piece in the original collection.
