Suzy,
MOST of the Noritake patterns did not carry a name and many of them cannot now be identified with a number as some records were lost during WW II. The backstamp on your plate is called number 31.7 by David Spain in his Noritake volumes. The backstamp was registered by Noritake in 1931 and could have been used earlier and/or later. Based on design, I'd guess it dates roughly 1930 - 1935. Values for Noritake items are based primarily on eye appeal with the obviously art deco designs ("flapper" women, French revolution era women and very strong geometric designs) having the highest interest.
