Here's more about this china: Design Characteristics: The Rosamor pattern features a elegant and timeless design with grey and black roses and leaves against a clean white background. Many pieces also include subtle platinum accents or trim, adding to their sophistication. The smooth rim and overall aesthetic made it popular for both everyday use and special occasions. Popularity and Market: Rosamor was particularly popular among US military personnel stationed in Japan during the Vietnam War era, as it was readily available in pre-packaged sets at attractive prices through military PX facilities. This contributed to its widespread presence in American homes. Noritake's Legacy: The Noritake company, formally known as Nippon Toki Kaisha Ltd. until officially adopting "Noritake Co., Limited" in 1981, has a long and rich history of producing high-quality porcelain and china. They began exporting Western-style dinnerware in 1914 with the "Sedan" pattern and later perfected mass production techniques, making fine china more accessible. Collectibility: While mass-produced Noritake patterns like Rosamor are generally more readily available compared to rarer, older, or hand-painted pieces, individual items in excellent condition or complete sets can still be sought after by collectors looking to complete or expand their dinnerware sets. Factors like condition, rarity of specific pieces (e.g., serving dishes), and the presence of clear backstamps influence their value.
