Noritake Nippon typically refers to pieces made in Japan between 1891 and 1921. The most recognized marks are the M in Laurel Wreath (Morimura Bros.), Rising Sun, Crown and Flower. The passage of McKinly Tariff Act in 1891 required that all imported items had to bear the name of the country of origin. In 1921 Congress further required that the country of origin be labeled in English, hence Nippon was no longer allowed with Japan used as the prevalent mark.
