More Info- Noritake China

[southgeorgiaboy24]

Looking for anyone who can provide some more information about this china set I recently acquired.  The back of the china is stamped "Noritake China" (stamping attached as photo) with an M in a wreath... near as I can tell from my own google searches, it is from the year 1933.  I was unable to identify the exact pattern used on the China and as a result have been unable to really discover more information.  The pattern used is very similar to an earlier pattern by the name of Royal Crest, however the stamp on that pattern is "RC" and the stamp on this particular set is "M".

It is a full 8 piece setting, none of the pieces have any visible chips or wear and tear.  The setting inlcudes:

8 Teacups
8 Saucers
8 Bread Plates
8 Salad Plates
8 Bowls
8 Dinner Plates
Sugar Bowl w/Lid
Creamer Bowl
Gravy Boat
Vegetable Server
Server Platter
8in Serving Bowl

Looking for more specific information, perhaps the exact name and date of the pattern used on this setting and perhaps an approximate value for the setting and serving set.

The mark is from the Morimura Bros, who were the largest importers of porcelain from Japan before and after the war. I believe, without looking it up on line, that your set dates from the 1950s, 60s or later. It is very easy to look up that mark on line. Where I live the service for 8 would sell for between $100 and $200. I do not know the name of the pattern

Try searching http://www.replacements.com/china/N.htm   and go through each piece ONE BY ONE if I am searching a pattern this is often how it is done!! Good luck and remember replacments prices are HIGH.

This mark was used from 1933 to 1940 so could be anywhere in between !!
