Norcrest China was founded in 1958 in Portland, Oregon by Bill Naito, continuing an import business his father Hide had started decades earlier. Nearly everything Norcrest sold was made in Japan, shipped to the U.S., and finished with the company's foil label — this Sweet Violet set among them, stamped "EW6/683B" on the underside.
Pair it with our Laurel China Debonaire snack set for a mixed collection of vintage Japanese porcelain.
