VINTAGE Noritake Arlene (95645) Fine China Service For 8 – 62 Pieces + 4 More. This is an absolutely stunning set of china. This belonged to my grandmother and although I’ve loved having it and have cherished it, it’s simply not a very practical thing for me to keep as it takes up quite a bit of space and we are empty nesting and downsizing. I truly hope it will go to someone who will cherish and care for it well. My grandmother got this set for her wedding, I believe somewhere around 1930-32. We ate on this set twice a year, Thanksgiving and Christmas. She carefully washed and dried every dish by hand, and put them immediately back in the china hutch and out of harms way. There are two tea cups missing from Arlene. They were with the set when I received them, I imagine to replace the two that were missing. I imagine my grandmother being fraught about the broken or missing ones and her sisters giving her some of theirs. This set is what special occasions and family is all about. Not perfect, but still whole. Some slight wear of gold rim on some pieces but barely noticeable, you have to look for it.
