Platinum banded Leonore set, found at local thrift store $30 for the set. This pattern was discontinued in early 70's I think. Originally bought to re-sell but fell in love with it, simple and elegant.

Simple elegance,that really says it all when it comes to Noritake and this is a wonderful pattern.I have Noritake also but it is not as old,I think my pattern(Stoneleigh,White Scapes) was discontinued in the 1990's there abouts (would you happen to know?) and very plain with platinum bands and a narrow white raised design around the rims.We do use it for holidays and special occasions,I love the way it dresses up the room.I am looking for 2 more place settings,would you happen to know a good place to look for them?Thanks in advance for any info on this,I love yours.
REPLACEMENTS.COM, carries many of the discontinued patterns of china and crystal. I even found mine listed and it was a wedding present in 1954.
Good luck.
Thanks Dottie! Same as cis2u, check Replacments website. If you like to shop for older patterns, they also buy. I believe that's how they get most of their inventory.
Hello dharma,
Thanks so much for taking the time to send this information,I had no idea where to start the hunt.I have already checked the store where we purchased them and they are no longer available.I plan to check Replacements tomorrow,I am hopeful that I will find them because we are having more guests for Easter than I first thought,I really need the additional settings...soon
Thanks again,Dottie
Hi, dharma, I have some pieces of this pattern, including 8 dinner plates, some salad plates, bread & butter, saucers, cups, serving pieces. If you are interested in buying them, I will sell them for very modest prices. Contact me privately at sstiemstra@sbcglobal.net.
