The company's designs often reflected prevailing artistic trends, incorporating elements of Art Nouveau and Art Deco into their hand-painted pieces. Many Noritake items from the early to mid-20th century are sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular piece, a spoon rest, was a functional item often found in dining sets, designed to keep surfaces clean from used cutlery. The hand-painted floral design and gold accents are characteristic of the decorative styles popular during the Art Deco era, suggesting a production date in the 1920s or 1930s. The presence of the \"Morimura\" mark on some similar items indicates a connection to the Morimura Brothers, who were instrumental in establishing Noritake's presence in the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCirca 1930's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8” Handle-Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2” Height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.75” Width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Trade Days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45622216949804,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/7048\/6316\/files\/IMG_8657.jpg?v=1780956054","url":"https:\/\/twoswansvintage.com\/products\/noritake-porcelain-spoon-rest","provider":"Two Swans Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
