Hand painted NIPPON items
« on: June 13, 2009, 06:34:27 pm »
Would like information on a set of three hand painted NIPPON bowls?  I have learned that the emblem on the bottom of the bowls is a "M" inside a wreath crowned by "Hand Painted" and below, Nippon.  The "M" stands for "Morimura."  Any information on this set would be greatly appreciated - how the set is used, pattern name, value, etc.   Thanks so much!

The mark in the image you posted looks authentic to me ... it was first used by Morimura Brothers in 1910-1911 .
The mark was used in/on both domestic (Japan) and exported items .

Nice bowls , baba .

I don't do much in the realm of valuations here , baba - I'm more into the identification & history of items .

Others here in the forum are very much more versed in current values , though ! :)

If I was to place a value on these I would place it about $50.00 for the set and you could sell them on e-bay for about $30.00.  This would be my best guess, times right now are slim for the seller, hard to sell items unless you offer extreamly good deals.
