Information on Noritake
Azalea
The Azalea pattern was produced for only the Larkin Company.  They
gave the Azalea away as premiums to the club members and their home
agents.  Azalea was made between 1916 and 1930.  It was fine china and
decorated with pink azaleas on a white background with gold around the
edges and on the handles.  All together they have made 70 different
pieces.  Some of the pieces are rare such as the bulbous vase, pancake
jug, china ashtray and the 15 piece child’s set.  The earliest mark was a
‘M’ in a wreath.  Later they marked it ‘Noritake, Azalea, Hand Painted
Japan’.  The Larkin Company was in Buffalo, New York.  The company’s
name was changed to Noritake Company Limited in 1981.

This is a very pretty pattern.  Being from Georgia where we have beautiful
Azalea in the spring, we are partial to this pattern.
