China Pearl Noel Dinnerware… Black or Brown

China Pearl Noel PatternI recently purchased a couple sets of dinnerware in the China Pearl Noel pattern.  When I purchased them I thought that they were both the same.  As I did my research I found out that there were two different backstamps.

The pieces with the brown backstamp were produced from 1988 to 2001.  Unfortunately I was unable to find out when the pieces with the black backstamp were made.  If any knows, please leave a comment.

If you want to see the differences between these two patterns with the same name, check them out at our eBay Store.  It’s more than just the color of the backstamp.  You will need to look at the pictures closely.
