Question 1
Greetings!Attached is a picture of a saucer from a Noritake collection that my mother gave to me. My father bought this set for her when he was in Korea, serving in the Army during the Korean War (1949-52?). There is not a pattern number on the back, and I have no idea what it is named. I do believe the pattern never made it over to the states.
For insurance and/or possible sale purposes, I would like to get an idea of the value of this collection. It is a complete set for 16, including dinner plates, cups, saucers, salad bowls, smaller bowls, large platter, small platter, soup tureen, sugar and creamer, etc.
Do you have an idea of the value, as well as the pattern name? Thanks for your help.

Question 2
Hi,  I'm not sure if you can help.  My grandmother recently gave me a vase painted with flowers.  On the bottom is Noritake, Nippon Toki Kaisha.  There is also a signature painted very lightly under the flowers.  Do you know where I could find out more about this vase. I will acquire a matching one soon that my aunt now has.   Thank you for any information.

Question 3
I can not exactly find my way in all the Noritake sites. Do you know if the Paradise series is still available? Is this series or any Noritake fit for the dishwasher and the microwave? Do you know how to warm up the plates before serving?
Sorry for asking,
kind regards,

René Ceulen

Question 5
My mother has given me a set of 6 teacups, six saucers, and one matching creamer.  I'm very curious about there origin.  The bottom of the teacups says Noritake and Nippon, the bottom of the saucers have no hallmak, and the matching creamer says Royal inside a leaf weath. on top of the weath it says OAF.G, and on the bottom it says Austria.  My mother said she was told that my dad's grandmother hand painted this set, but we don't know if that is true or not.
I would really appreciate your input, since I don't know much about Noritake.
Thanks for your time. Lynn
