  1. The classic Nippon era ran from 1890 to 1920. There's an excellent article on Nippon porcelain here. The M in a wreath is on the best pieces and stands for "Morimura" for the Morimura brothers. You...
  2. At first glance I would say it was a dresser set. A typical dresser set had a tray, a hair catcher (top with a very large hole), a hat pin holder, and a trinket box with a cover. But never anything ...
  3. There's a soft spot in my heart for gold on white Nippon. Yes, this is probably part of a set of dishes for meals. I can't imagine putting anything on them but pretty plates like these weren't expen...
  4. You have a very beautiful humidor. Egyptian motifs were popular Nippon design motifs. "Nippon" was the name for Japan when the McKinley Tariff act in force from 1891 to around 1920 when the Act was ...
  5. Here's a link to Etsy where someone is selling a trinket box: https://www.etsy.com/listing/228665337/hand-painted-nippon-wildflower-round There's an excellent pic of the hour glass.
  6. This is an example of counterfeit Nippon. The wild roses on a green background is a common pattern. Does the backstamp have an hourglass within a wreath? Could you post a pic of the bottom? It's a...
  7. I have seen many different styles of Nippon over the past 50 years but this doesn't fit with anything I've seen. Perhaps you can check out the resources listed on this site to see if there is anythin...
  8. Either a celery or asparagus dish? Those dishes were usually made long for the long veggies.
  9. I think it's what's called the EE backstamp. Generally, it was used on pieces meant for daily or "not formal" use. I've seen pics of tins filled with shaped dishes of EE. While it's not considered...
  10. The design definitely looks like Nippon; sailboats were a common theme. But it's hard to tell what the mark is. It looks like the M in a wreath except the M is oriented wrong. Are the things around...
  11. PastJoy, click on "Nippon Porcelain" above for an excellent overview on the "Nippon Era". Also check out the links along the left. Definitely check the International Nippon Collector's Club's site a...
  12. Well, a better look at the backstamp would be helpful, but it looks like mark #10 in the Nippon books by Ms. Van Patten. I have a piece like this, a little creamer; the crown is green and the letteri...
  13. Was watching an Australian mystery series set back in the late 20's to 30's, "Miss Fisher" I think, and the butler was holding a tray exactly like this. I couldn't get a good look but it seemed there...
  14. Freiheit, when you mentioned repairing I got an awful image of the little old lady who decided she could "repair" Jesus's face on a mural. We all know how that turned out! But then, many people came...
  15. Also agree with the others, this is probably Nippon. You'll often see pieces that are practically the same but for a few details. As for restoration, NO! It's hard to match the gold and its aged ...
  16. There's a similar dish on the Ebay section here for Nippon and it's called a dresser tray. I'm not really sure that's what it is because I have a few trays but none with handles. I agree with the ot...
  17. If you had passed this up because of the chipped legs you would have deserved to never find another piece again!!! It probably has that satiny smooth finish? What a beautiful little gem.
  18. Rare indeed. Can't say I've ever seen this pattern but absolutely believe it would have qualified for Tiffany. And 1907 puts it just right. What wonderful stories behind the little things we have.
  19. Jwendell222, thank you for the link! I had a self induced computer glitch and found quite a few bookmarks missing, not to mention forgetting I could have checked these listings in S&T (which partly e...
  20. Well, it looks like Nippon to me but remember no real appraisal is ever made unless you can hold it in your hands. There's wear on the handles and I've seen this pattern in a slightly different form;...
  21. Logie, part of determining if something is "something" is to see the whole. Post a pic of the piece and maybe we can be more helpful. There are very obvious fakes and true or authentic Nippon ware....
  22. Well, wouldn't you know it, I thought I'd give the book another quick scan and there it was. It's mark #197. The hyphen in the book example isn't touching and there are no dots under hand and painte...
  23. My books only go as far as "The ABC's of Nippon Porcelain" and this mark is similar to a couple but nothing like this. Could you post pics of the whole piece? The bottom appears worn so it's probabl...
  24. Cam, by all means post photos of your piece. I Googled Moriyama Morimachi and got the Bing page with marks and items with these marks. I was amazed to see a sample of "dragon ware" exactly like a li...
  25. Don't have a clue about the value but the "rising sun" backstamp was on ware meant for every day use. You made the right decision to buy all! My two cents: having such a complete set would be better...
  26. Could you post a pic of the mark?
  27. What a peaceful scene to wake up to. Do you have the matching saucer?
  28. Idcloisonne, not offended at all. I am learning so much about Noritake. When I was little it was THE dinnerware to have. I even have a piece of Nippon with "Noritake" written in the backstamp. Fak...
  29. The little one is a toothpick holder. I have one exactly the same shape but with a different painting (I'm assuming this is very small, maybe 2" high?). Pretty sure the second is not a salt cellar...
  30. Anne, I must now admit that the piece that taught me about counterfeit Nippon was indeed the wildflower on a green bisque background with the hourglass in a wreath. Since then, and it gave me a great...
  31. Definitely Nippon and the style says so besides the backstamp which can be other than green. Maryh, thankyou for the link, seeing these sites is better than tv.
  32. Always buy what you love! This is a beautiful vase and I'd buy it, cracked or not. You can always display it where the nip doesn't show as I have done.
  33. Beautiful piece.
  34. Anne, I never meant to imply that Clarice copied this design. I apologize if that's how it read. I meant inspired, as in someone seeing something they truly like and it sets a cycle of thought/creat...
  35. Ooops, just posted and found you had posted another comment. Yes, there is moriage on the handles and they are in perfect condition. In fact when buying Nippon with moriage you need to look for any ...
  36. The vase is marked with the blue leaf backstamp which places it probably before 1900. The dish has the M in a wreath and this piece seems newer because it's lighter but the owner may have taken bette...
  37. Definitely Nippon. If you can find a copy of Joan Van Patten's book "ABC's of Collecting Nippon" you'll find yellow pieces, "xanthic" on page 305. The illustration is also a chocolate pot with cups ...
  38. I have a similarly shaped vase, Nippon, but not the quality of yours. Am pretty sure this was meant to be just that: ornamental. Yours truly is. I love the tiny Moriage drops in the gold with the en...
  39. Another example of good things that come in small boxes! Moriage gets me every time.
  40. Perhaps this is a celery dish? I've seen several of this general shape and size. Even an asparagus dish, perhaps. I collect Nippon and this shape is familiar to dinner services.
