Teal colored Nippon creamer & sugar dishes - would like to know their worth

[pwilliam]

Cleaning out grandma's attic and found a teal/white creamer/sugar dishes. They say hand painted and Nippon on the bottom and has an M surrounded by a wreath. I have been trying to find out what they are worth, but after reading things online, I'm not sure they are even genuine. They look old to me and have the insignia on the bottom, but I can't find that exact design anywhere online. Can anyone tell me if they are real and what their worth is?

Hey pwilliam,

Welcome to TNet, and thanks for showing us Grand Mother's china.

That's an old Morimura Bros. / Noritake mark. Sorry, I don't know the pattern off hand...



"135. Mark: "M" standing for "Morimura" in a wreath, crowned by "Hand painted" and below, NIPPON. Date: Introduced in 1911 and possible in use until 1921. The first reported U.S. registry for a Noritake back stamp for importing is 1911. Noritake first produced dinnerware for the American market in 1914. A piece of the dinnerware in the Noritake factory in Nagoya shows that the pattern was The Sedan (11292), a white body with cream border with a small spray of flowers. It bears a typical back stamp of Noritake, the letter "M" in a wreath and the words "Hand painted." Japanese porcelain Noritake marks

The only china that sells real well around here anymore is Haviland. Limoges & others use to do ok but not so much anymore. Most Japanese china doesn't do well at all anymore, certainly not saying there isn't plenty of exceptions but over the past 10+ years china has been one of those things on the decline.
