Here is my Show & Tell. I have had this condiment set for a long time.

I think we lived in Va. Bch. VA at the time.. I probably purchased it in Gloucester, VA or perhaps the Richmond, VA area. It is NORITAKE, MADE IN JAPAN, and has the green wreath mark with the M in the middle. It is made before 1941... I can't really find out anything about them. On eBay I espied a creamer with the pattern for $28.00 and a sugar bowl with the pattern for $35.00. I assure you that I paid under $15.00 for this set... that is my limit on salt & pepper sets :-) I think that this set probably had a tray that they nestled in. I just love the pattern

Note to thy self: Stay away from eBay.. you ain't got no more places to put those purty thangs!

  2. Thank you, Tammy. I don't use them. I just look at them. They sit in my Amish made curio cabinet... which is almost overflowing with things I like to collect.
