I obtained this set at an estate sale. It is just a delicate set that appealed to me. Can you tell me its age and value if any? I just loved the look.

I believe this pattern is as notedonntge bottom, NORITAKE Savannah Pattern #2031 and you gave a Footed Cup. The pattern was made from the late 1960s thru the early 1990s.
I hope cybergrannie weighs in because she has a lot of knowledge on dishes and may know how I determine the year.
The cup and saucer set just sold recently on eBay for 4.99 for two how and two saucers. That is today's current market value!
Pretty pattern! I can see why you love it!!
Edit..noted on the bottom
I have seen these sets from $599. up to $1800 for the set of 90pcs.
Noritake made beautiful china.
Your set has the N in the marking but it was was used for several years. Everything about a marking has meaning - the (r) for registered first appeared in 1954 and was used a lot but not on all china.
"There are over 400 known Noritake backstamps with a variety of patterns, so it's difficult to identify the exact date of origin for many collectible Noritake sets."
This particular marking with the N was made in color for many years but changed to black (like yours) in 1969 and was used through 1991 so that is really as close a date Noritake has. Their records will show dates the #2031 was made and that shows 1969-1991.
If you are asking about value - the best place for that is to go to eBay's sold listings as only a sold piece will give you current value - asking prices are what a seller would like to receive for their item.

Thank you so much for the answer.Lots of good information .am learning lots!! I have heard there is also glasses made by Noritake to match this pattern.Do you know if this was true,or some that could go with it.Thank you so much for your expertise!,
Noritake only made 'matching' glasses for a few patterns.
Noritake did not have glasses in Savannah and only made a few sets that actually had any resemblance to the pattern.

The age of the China has already been determined so there is no need to tell you this one again. You are asking about the value of the China which is very low right now. Some pieces are selling for as little as $3 to $5. The value of China would depend on how large the set is and if there are extra pieces like serving bowles or platters.
My china is 5580 there is a Gold N in the center is there any significant to that? Bought in Japan by a sailor parent.
I see the median price for the lone tea cup and saucer to be around $12. www.ebay.com/
