I have a beautiful luncheon set of Meito Handpainted. Tranquil setting has a windmill and water mostly orange and purple in coloring. I know a small amount about the company, that it started in 1908, by a former noritake engineer. I have searched and searched for this set and cannot find the name of the pattern or the pattern itself.
The back is stamped in green and reads Meito China, with a crown below it, Handpainted made in Japan.
My parents have an old beer stein that my Great Grandfather got at one of the Chicago World Fairs. We think it was 1933, but could have been 1893. It's one of those things that has been in the house forever and we were wondering what, if any, the value of such an item would be.
