This exact Noritake Deco slanted cheese dish is shown on page 205 of Spain's first Noritake book. It measures 4 3/4 inches high x 8 inches wide x 6 inches deep. It has the green cherry mark backstamp. What is really wonderful about this piece is the very Deco abstract stylized big floral decoration. Another unusual aspect to this piece is the very bright green color used for the leaves. The body is tan luster and the trim is the classic blue luster. There is a scratch mark to one of the tan sides but not deep enough to show the white underbody. There is some to be expected wear on the handle where one would pick it up. However, the blue tulip and large orange and red flower are stunning! Spain priced it at $80-$100 in his 1997 book. I bought it reasonable and am selling it that way, thus the fair price. The paint and luster are in excellent shape.
