Circa: 1920
Manufacturer: Noritake/Made in Japan
This antique covered vegetable/casserole dish is marked: Noritake / M inside a Laurel Wreath for Morimura Bros. (New York Importers) / Hand Painted / Nippon in green.
This M mark in a wreath, standing for Morimura, was introduced in 1911 and possible in use until 1921. The first reported U.S. registry for a Noritake back stamp for importing is 1911. The Morimura Brothers, Noritakes founder, Baron Ichizaemon Morimura and his younger brother, Yutaka Morimura established in New York in 1878, was the first imported goods shop to import Japanese antiques and porcelain.
Antique Nippon porcelain, as this china was called during the period from the 1890's through the early 1920's, denoted country of origin rather than products from a specific manufacturer. Nippon is the anglicized word for Japan or land of the rising sun.
After the early 1920's, the more English Made in Japan began to appear, mandated by The United States requirement of Japan instead of Nippon for the sake of clarity for American readers.
However, other countries made no such demand, and Nippon appears on many products after that date.
With a colorful floral band both on the lid and the dish it is in very good condition, without chips, cracks or fleabites, but does show gold loss on the lid and dish handles, which I have shown in my pictures, and it measures 5 1/4 inches high, 10 1/4 inches handle to handle and 7 7/8 inches across the rim.
An addition to any Noritake China Collection.
