Hi, sorry mart, I am not able to read that, but is Japanese... These seem to be Sushi plates, here are some on a Japanese page (and the prices are in Yen) : https://www.mercari.com/jp/search/?keyword=capishell . If the original poster needs more info, he can try this page: https://www.jref.com/forum/translations.201/ I see he (or she) thinks the dishes are from the 1940s-50s. From the look of the brochure and the style of the dishes I would think they are newer.... The only info on "Capishell" I found so far is " Capishell" It is a handicraft using seashell which is a byproduct of pearl farming which is a special product of Ise city." (automatic translation)

Thanks Mat !!  I think they are more interested in the Company that made them !!  Thats the reason I was hoping you could make sense of the pic where the letters are large  !!   The rest that is written is more than likely a bit of shell history or folklore !!
Appreciate the help !!
