NIPPON Exquisite Decorative SET of 6 DESSERT PLATES, Maruki mark
, Hand Painted PINK ROSES, BLUE FORGET ME NOTS & GREEN LEAVES w/Raised GOLD, from Moraimura Bros.  in Noritake, Japan, circa 1912-1918
DESCRIPTION:
The beautiful hand painted set of 6 dessert plates was produced with the cheerful pink roses, blue forget me nots, and leaves using a pink, green, blue & yellow color palette.  The design looks so intricate.
The rims are beautifully trimmed in gold with a wide band of gold cross hatching next to the rim.  There are 4 floral raised gold cartouches within the cross hatching band which have a single blue forget me not in the center.  These have a yellow wash behind them.
CONDITION:
While this set is classified as used, the condition is superb.  There are no chips, nicks, cracks, rubbings, scratches or hairlines.  There is very minor gold wear on a few of the raised gold beads that form the cartouches.  This is really insignificant and very hard to find even with a magnifying glass. There are no utensil marks or other wear on the gold.  See the photos to ascertain just how beautiful this set is.
DIMENSIONS:
The dessert plates have a diameter of 6 1/2" and 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 fine bone china all the way from  January 1, 1904 when the Nippon Toki Kaisha Ltd - the forerunner to the present Noritake Company - was formed.  The first reported U.S. registry for a Noritake backstamp for importing is 1911.  The backstamp on all 6 plates is the Maruki "Spider" mark.  According to the Noritake Collectors Guild, the Maruki symbol is the corporation motif of the Morimura Kumi Group of Companies.  The Maruki symbol was used not only for Morimura backstamps, but also for Noritake backstamps.  Joan Van Patten, in ABC’s of Collecting Nippon Porcelain, lists this as mark #180 used 1912-1918.
