Norleans was an American import label that sourced fine porcelain from Japan through the mid-20th century — the name a contraction of "North Orleans," the Chicago street where their offices sat. Old Rose was exactly what it sounds like: a classic, unrushed floral in the tradition of English and European rose china, rendered in Japanese porcelain with a lightness the originals rarely achieved.
