Much has been written about Noritake's exports to America. Noritake for Europe is the first book dedicated to Noritake's ceramics exported to Europe. Over 580 brilliant color photographs display the fanciful porcelain produced from 1891 to 1939. Tableware, tea, chocolate, and coffee sets, dressing table sets, and vases are all depicted. Nineteenth century formal, Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco designs are among the decorative motifs represented. The text provides a company history, explanations of backstamps, a glossary, and a comprehensive collectors' guide. Values are included in the captions in both U.S. dollars and English pounds.
