Noritake China made the BIARRITZ pattern from 1959 to 1973--the heart of Mid Century Modern style and this pattern shows the influences of that time! BIARRITZ features a white base with platinum edge. Repeated elongated grey feathers ring the edges. I have many pieces in this pattern at the moment so if you are looking to round out a set and don't see what you need listed, just reach out. Some of the pattern is at my booth in the vintage mall at the moment. The pieces I have include: Gravy Boat, Creamer, Servings Bowls, Coupe Cereal Bowls, Berry Bowls, Cup/Saucer Sets, Bread Plates, Salad Plates and Dinner Plates! Just ask if you want to bundle and save on shipping.

This is for a pair of bread plates in the BIARRITZ pattern by Noritake China. This piece measures roughly 6 3/8" in diameter.

Price is for two and there are five pairs available. Quantity discount for purchase of multiples. Only $1.00 per additional plate. If you buy more than 4, there may be a small shipping refund depending on where you are located. For fine china, I ship no more than 6 items per box for bowls and plates over 6", so keep that in mind if you want to bundle.

Condition of all is good for the age with no cracks or chips. No overt blemishes on pattern. No deep utensil scratches. MInor wear to platinum edge in places but not enough to make the pieces look tired or worn out.

Priced according to this condition.


How I Assess Vintage Pieces
Please note that my written descriptions are more than just a one line list of the dimensions. AND they are not AI-generated!

I want the Buyer to know exactly what they are getting, so I strive to identify all flaws—even minor ones—in the photos and descriptions. Vintage items typically have light signs of usage: utensil marks, diminished shine to the glaze, scratches on the design, chips, crazing, and cracks. The situations mentioned above are exactly what I examine each item for, under a bright light and with glasses on, as I am listing it.

I don’t use the word “excellent” unless there is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, zero utensil marks, no signs of past use and no muting of colors or glaze sheen…so I rarely use the word “excellent” for a vintage item.

Looking for Other Vintage Mid Century Modern Items?
WAXWING MID MOD may be able to help!
Let me know what you are after. At any given moment I have 100+ items not listed yet! I focus on mid-century modern plate sets, serving pieces, barware, glassware, stemware, vases, and art. You can find me under AstridWaxwing09 on various platforms.

I love reuniting orphan glassware with its pattern family! Franciscan, Noritake, Lenox, Stangl, Salem, California potteries, Dorothy Thorpe, McCoy, Hazel Atlas, Fire King, Anchor Hocking, Pyrex, and Corning Ware/Corelle are some of the brands I seek out and educate myself about.

I’m drawn to kitchenware because kitchen is the heart of the home. The ritual of choosing a plate pattern when getting married is one of the first choices an engaged couple makes together. This is when they decide what image of “successful adulthood” they want to portray to their friends and family. Often the bride had more control over these choices—but so much less control about most everything else. Women are still fighting for control over their bodies, education, careers, and destiny.

It may seem odd to look backwards at dishes and bowls from the 1920’s-1970’s to be inspired about women’s rights but I am aware on a daily basis that any opportunity or privilege I have today was made possible by women who came before me—intelligent women like my mother who may have not been legally able to have her own checking account or attend certain universities, but still took action to shape a better future.
