Frank Lloyd Wright was an American Architect who designed over 1000 buildings. He was commissioned by the Imperial household of Japan to design a Western-style hotel in Tokyo. The hotel was completed by Wright in 1922. Wright created every detail, including the dinnerware pattern to be used in the hotel. The production of this special design was entrusted to the Noritake Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of quality porcelain. Noritake and Heinz and Co. was established to reproduce these pieces in a very limited edition of 1000 place settings, by Noritake in 1984. The asymmetrical, geometric pattern is the epitome of Art Deco with the colorful interlocking circle pattern on a white background. It is marked "Heinz and Co.", 1984, Noritake, Japan.
