The scrollwork pattern on the cup is particularly beautiful and the porcelain is so light and dainty that you can see the outline of your fingers through it.

DIMENSIONS: The cup has a diameter of 3 9/16" and a height of 2 1/8". The saucers are 5 7/16" in diameter with a height of 3/4". HISTORY/MARKS: Morimura Bros. formed the trading and decorating company in 1876 which evolved into Noritake. Noritake Company has a rich history of producing porcelain china all the way from January 1, 1904 when the Nippon Toki Kaisha Ltd - the forerunner to the present Noritake Company - was formed in the village of Noritake, a small suburb near Nagoya, Japan with its huge kaolin clay sources. The first reported U.S. registry for a Noritake backstamp for importing is 1911. The backstamp on this piece is the red M-in-Wreath Mark with Noritake on the top. Under that is "Japan" with "Handpainted" in a curve under the wreath . In Collecting Noritake A to Z Art Deco & More, David Spain shows that Noritake substituted Japan for Nippon in their backstamps starting in 1918. Spain identifies this mark as #25.1 which was used in 1918. (Note that this says "Japan", not "Made in Japan" which was used in later years.)
