Welcome to CW. Here's some general tips..
"If your piece is marked “Nippon,” then it was made and imported between 1891 and 1921. If it is marked “Japan”, then your piece was made and imported after 1921."
"M-in-Wreath, hand-painted ("M" stands for importer,
Morimura Bros.); found in green, blue, magenta & gold.
Mark used since 1911."
"Meito China or Crown mark, produced after 1908 by Nogoya Seito Sho Ltd which was founded by Kotero Asukai, a former Nortike employee. Nippon items with the Meito mark tend to be less decorative than their Noritake counterparts."
