Noritake Co., Limited, commonly known as "Noritake," grew out of a trading company established in Tokyo and in New York City by the Morimura Brothers in 1876. Many collectors agree that the best examples of ?Nippon-era? (1) hand painted porcelain carry a back stamp used by "Noritake" during the Nippon era. The "M in a wreath" mark was used between 1914 until 1940.
