<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 174509, member: 308&quot;]Hi JenniferWaltering - This type of design was very common on Japan produced china particularly during the period between the wars.&nbsp; Noritake&#039;s Tree in the Meadow is a good example.&nbsp; As these were hand painted, variations can be expected and different details can be featured.&nbsp; Sometimes there are swans, sometimes houses, sometimes windmills etc. but the colors and basic designs were roughly consistent.&nbsp; Marks are not terribly important for this type of wear unless it is of exceptional quality.&nbsp; Frankly, identifying the manufacturer of this plate (or bowl) will not make much, if any, difference in the value.&nbsp; It is a pretty item but out of fashion at the moment.&nbsp; Many records for Japanese companies were destroyed during WWII so we may never know who was behind some of these marks.&nbsp; Just for future reference it is helpful for us to see the entire piece.&nbsp; Without seeing the edges I can&#039;t tell whether it&#039;s a plate, a basket, or a bowl and the mold details can sometimes provide other clues.&nbsp; .&nbsp; Also please provide measurements.&nbsp; This can be very helpful in identifying usage I&#039;m looking forward to seeing more of your items.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
