History Not not until 1914 after a long series of trials and errors the first fine porcelain dinnerware suitable for export was produced. On of the first patterns to be produces was the "Sedan" (11292). A piece of the dinnerware in the Noritake factory in Nagoya shows this to be a bleak white plate with a cream border of small flower sprays and the typical Noritake back stamp, the letter "M" in a wreath and the words "Hand painted." As a general rule the earliest dinnerware plates were mostly decorated with a liberal applications of gold. To identify the early Noritake porcelain, it is important to remember their intended adaption to the western taste. The "M in a wreath" mark was used between c 1914 until 1940.

Interesting thoughts you have about the dishes. I can't comment on the value of them, but can add to what you know, which you may already know. The dishes can not be replaced. The company was destroyed which was located in Nagasaki Japan during the War. I believe you are right in that they were trying to mimic the Western Culture in design, sometimes the styles of their serving dishes were different too.
