Twelve (12) Noritake saucers, pattern N1323 (ca. 1933), from the Rock Rest Tourist Home. Each saucer has a white, round well at the bottom of the saucer, surrounded by a wide cream band that runs around the lip of the saucer. The lip is also decorated with three (3) yellow, dark pink, blue, and green floral sprays. The white center and cream band are divided with a thin, green band. A thin, green band with yellow triangles and a gilt edge decorates the edge of the saucers. The back base of the saucer is white with a Noritake stamp. The backstamp is a green arabesque wreath with yellow fill and a large, arabesque, black [M] at the center. Black text stamped above and below the wreath reads [NORITAKE] at the top and [JAPAN] at the bottom.
