Welcome to my Listing   Please Visit My  Store "Sneaks and Tees" For Other Collectable Noritake Look at each photo carefully, they are the primary description as they do it better than I can (due to the highly reflective nature of luster, white and dark spots are reflective light and shadows) ITEM Noritake Art Deco Blue Luster Hen Chick Bird Condiment Set Cruet Tray Spoon AI Research and Description Description Product Overview & Historical Context This catalog-style listing features an assembled 5-piece porcelain figural condiment set manufactured by Noritake during the Art Deco period, circa 1920–1930. The set features a striking steel-blue metallic lusterware glaze with geometric art deco wing panels hand-painted in mint green, pale orange, and dark trim. The complete assembly consists of: One (1) Large Figural Hen Covered Mustard Pot Two (2) Figural Kingfisher-Style Bird Salt & Pepper Shakers One (1) Coordinating Ceramic Spoon (Luster-dipped handle) One (1) Two-Handled Scalloped Presenter Tray Historical & Contextual Analysis During the 1920s and 1930s, the Morimura Brothers factory produced modular novelties and tableware configurations for export to Western department stores. Period trade catalogs confirm that buyers and distributors could order custom-selected figural components to populate standard trays. This specific configuration represents a "marriage" arrangement . The centerpiece mustard pot is a highly modeled figural hen variant executed in a scarcer blue lusterware. In place of the traditional small chick shakers typically distributed with this central hen form, this set features two distinct figural kingfisher-style bird shakers finished in a matching blue luster glaze. The resulting arrangement forms a visually harmonious and period-authentic presentation that reflects the purchasing flexibility available to collectors during the interwar era.
