Description
I am trying to find out the name of the pattern and spelling of the mark. Looks like Svoto but everyone says it is Jyoto. I disagree because I've seen the mark for Jyoto and it is way different than the mark on my china. Knowing the approx. age would be nice also but most importantly the pattern name and mark I.D.

Re: Made in Occupied Japan china with unknown pattern name...
The mark is Jyoto China, circa 1948-1952. I don't know the pattern name. You can go to:

patterns.
Re: Made in Occupied Japan china with unknown pattern name...
Not all patterns have names, quite often you'll find all they have is a pattern number, as can often be seen in the listed recorded by companies like replacements.com or chinafinders.com. The demand for china of this type is very low right now as the market has been flooded by the children and grandchildren of the World War Two generation clearing their estates or selling off their inheritances.
