Noritake Christmas Ball Hand Painted Porcelain Salt and Pepper Set, c.1930-1935.

Produced from 1906 to 1991, Noritake's most opulent pattern, considered one of the most beautiful ever made, is generally known as design number 43061, 16034 or 175, and has been long admired for its hand-painted 24Kt gold enameled border detail.

Noritake's quality porcelain presents a bright white center and a light yellow, hand-tinted border, a subtle base for the elegance of gold gilt beaded rims, raised scrolls, floral bulbs, and it crowning glory, interpreted as the ornamental "Christmas Ball".

This Christmas Ball salt and pepper shaker set adds a touch of well-made vintage elegance to your Holiday table, from one of the most esteemed china manufacturers.
