Thank you for the warm welcome Joe!

I've certainly picked up a grey hair or two on this one. Thank you for letting me know you've seen this one. When you say "central mark" does that mean the M in Wreath or are you refering to a particular type of Noritake Mark?

I picked up this tea cup and saucer at a yard sale. I did some research trying to find what it is and it's time period. Because it says Made in Japan instead of Nippon or Occupied Japan it leads me to believe it is 1921 - 1940, but the Wreath in the maker's mark is not similar to anything I can find in that time period, and the "M" is inside a circle which I haven't seen either.

 Is it a fake?     Has anyone seen this before?

 Any help would be greatly appreciated!
