I bought this a long time ago and have been storing it. I love old Noritake and collect it. I don't come across them very often because of my limited budget, haha. I've looked into the backstamp of this teapot quite a bit, but I couldn't figure it out. It looks very similar to Noritake from the Taisho era. There are no chips or cracks, but there is some gold paint flaking. I lightly bleached the inside of the pot, but it won't get any cleaner than this. Please understand that this is an antique. From spout to handle: 23 cm Height: Approximately 17 cm Thank you for looking.
