SALE Vintage Nippon Noritake Scenic Tree in the Meadow Condiment Set - early 1900s

Porcelain : By Maker Or Type : Noritake : Tree In The Meadow : Vintage : China : Decorative Arts : 20th Century : Oriental, Made In Japan, Mij, Japanese

 

This early Noritake set includes a round tray, salt and pepper shakers and a lidded mustard (ketchup, salsa and/or sugar) jar and spoon. It features a rustic hand painted scene of a tranquil lake complete with a tree, island cottage and purple horizon majesty. The work of decorative art would make a wonderful addition to existing collections or a great start for a new one.

Several different "Tree in the Meadow" (TIM) patterns were designed in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In contrast to antique versions, Larkin sold what is now considered the classic TIM pattern from 1926 to 1935. Most old Noritake collectibles, though of Japanese (Asian, Oriental) derivation were designed at the Morimura Brothers Trading Company in New York City, then produced at "the Company that makes Japan's Finest China" factory in Noritake, Japan for export to Western (Occidental) markets.

MARK: green “M in wreath” Hand Painted Nippon mark used by Nippon Toki Kaisha Ltd. in the Art Nouveau Era.

CONDITION: very good vintage condition, with light wear. Part of the lid's interior ridge has a rough edge (please see the last photo).

SIZE: the tray is nearly 7” in diameter; the covered jar is about 3 ¼” tall to the top of the finial.

COLORS: the hand-painted scene is in subtle shades of lavender, purple, blue, green, pink and bone china white with gold trim and brown details.
