foot cup+saucer set norleans united china glass company ceramic porcelain japan

Description: the pair there is some scuffing to the bottom rims from just coming into contact with surfaces: otherwise, i can find no issues. the set has only ever been displayed. from what is said about the «norleans» line (see a little farther below), this pair is probably mid century in age. pattern in gold over green is quite intricate. it has lots of movement, like leaves blowing in the wind. and the celadon green and gold go wonderfully together and have a rich look. frankly, i love these labels. they have a great feel to them. (see second image.) the cup retains a silver foil label reading «[norleans logo]» «norleans» [some kind of hallmark] and «japan». in addition to an identical silver foil label, it also has an additional sticker with «№ (hand-typed) 67024-h» «united china and glass company» «japan». just a really cool sticker to have on a cup and saucer set if you are a collector. the saucer is 6" in diameter and the rim is about 3/4" above the surface on which the dish rests. the cup flares incrementally toward the top. the mouth diameter is 3 1/2". the footed cup is 3 1/4" tall. the foot is about 1/4" tall. from the outside most part of the handle to the opposite rim is 4 1/4". about norleans (from: suspended-objects.org/post/122208716533/item-041-norleans-old-woman-figurine-found-on) norleans was a line of porcelain china and glass products started in 1949 by united china and glass company. united china and glass was founded in 1850 in new orleans and began trading with japan in 1932, though this was suspended during world war ii. norleans was part of the revival of that trade after the war. norleans' products at least in the 1950s were mainly dinnerware products manufactured by meito china, a japanese manufacturer. united china and glass was sold to sammons enterprises, a holding company, in 1962. norleans continued to exist in some capacity, but it's possible it simply became an importer. the norleans trademark expired in 1992. about united china & glass company (from: francinesfigurines.com/ucagco) ucagco-marked pieces are almost always marked «made in japan» and like other importers, one might assume that they were a japanese company; however, this is not correct. the united china and glass company (ucagco) was based in new orleans and new york. ucagco was primarily creator and distributor of dinnerware and glassware and were the distributor of many japanese china patterns during the early 1950s. ucagco dates back to 1850 and was founded by abe mayer. it was originally called abe mayer & co. mr. mayer did business throughout the southeast u.s. as well as central and south america. in the 1930s the company took on the official trademark of ucagco and began expanding overseas. after wwii was over, the company's agent in japan (s.a. stolaroff) signed the very first contract allowing imports from japan. stolaroff was a talented ceramic designer himself and worked alongside many japanese potteries to help lead the company's line of ceramics. in 1956, ucagco was sold to sammons enterprises and in 1962 stolaroff, who had become the company's president, retired. maker's and/or other hallmarks frankly, i love these labels. they have a great feel to them. (see second image.) the cup retains a silver foil label reading «[norleans logo]» «norleans» [some kind of hallmark] and «japan». in addition to an identical silver foil label, it also has an additional sticker with «№ (hand-typed) 67024-h» «united china and glass company» «japan». just a really cool sticker to have on a cup and saucer set if you are a collector. dimensions the saucer is 6" in diameter and the rim is about 3/4" above the surface on which the dish rests. the cup flares incrementally toward the top. the mouth diameter is 3 1/2". the footed cup is 3 1/4" tall. the foot is about 1/4" tall. from the outside most part of the handle to the opposite rim is 4 1/4". condition there is some scuffing to the bottom rims from just coming into contact with surfaces: otherwise, i can find no issues. the set has only ever been displayed. the fine print the images are the majority of the listing description, so take a look at them closely. shipping costs have really increased—this is calculated into the buy-it-now price. i am not able to sell individual items from items i have listed as a group. i just don't have the stamina to create new listings for those. i apologize for that. i haven't initially individually listed items because i don't have enough listing slots to so. trying to downsize some, though extremely melancholically. shipping time: i otherwise work more than full time and my health isn't great, so kindly excuse the longer handling time. if i am able to ship sooner, i absolutely will do that. i appreciate you taking the time to view my listing.
