They are very unique as they were made only for the Japanese market and not produced in the USA. The irregular number of plates and cups is because they were never ordered as a complete set originally, so it’s a collection of 46 pieces rather than a set. Since they were made they have been owned by the artist who designed them. Included is a letter of authentication. This collection has always been mixed with white ironstone and other blue and white dinnerware depending on the number of people at the table.
