NORITAKE, Fairmont pattern marked: "U.S. Design Pat.": Set of Four Bread and Butter Plates.These plates are pristine white with delicate pink rose garlands and platinum trim. The rim trim includes a delicate turquoise blue pattern. The plates measure 6-1/4" in diameter. Please see the photo of the backstamp with the turquoise blue wreath and "N" in the center. This is an old mark, probably from the early 1950"s. It says "Noritake, Japan, 6102, FAIRMONT, U.S. Design Pat., 194925". My understanding is that the "U.S. Design Pat." means that this pattern was made for the U.S. market. These plates are near MINT; the platinum trim is excellent and there are virtually no surface wear marks. It appears that they have had little or no use.
