A few close-ups:


I couldn't get a clear picture of the bottom due to the fact I procrastinated and didn't take the photo earlier in the day. It probably wouldn't make much difference since it seems to always be dreary, gray and snowing! It says:
Noritake China
Handpainted
Japan
3983
Goldfleur
It listed patented numbers, etc. I googled (what did we do without google) and it said if it had the M in the middle (which it does) it was made between 1917 -1941. Pretty old - :)
One last look -

Don't forget to visit BEVERLY to find more Pink Saturdays!
Have a good day and a better tomorrow!

Carmen, This piece of china is beautiful. Noritake M series pieces are my favorite. I have a set of M series in yellow. Don't you just love having something so precious?
Happy Pink Saturday on Sunday.

Hi Caren!
What a treasure! You are so lucky to have something that belonged to your grandma. I have a glass and a scarf from my dad' mom and a sewing machine drawer (from a treadle sewing machine)from my mom's mom. I think that may be why I'm so crazy about "keeping" stuff...I have so little from my older family members.
Glad to read that you are "timely". I'm not as punctual as I used to be (when I had to go to a real job), but I try! :)
Hope you have a wonderful Pink Sat. We had snow yesterday and are predicted to get more starting tomorrow evening. :(
Hope your Saturday is filled with great PINKNESS! L, Dana

Oh, thank you for a walk down memory lane. My grandmother had similar china, and I loved looking at the tiny details when I was little. Such a beautiful bowl.

Hello Caren,
Do you use this bowl for special occasions? I'm thing something pretty and priceless (since it's from your grandma) like this, one should be very careful. It has sentimental value and so irreplaceable! :-)
Happy Pink Saturday!
