Description
I am trying to figure out if Noritake ever used the mark on the bottom of this piece. It is a wreath with Made In Japan incorporated into the circle, and an MG in the center. The M has all the lookings of a Noritake, but my book has no marks with an interwoven MG. The tray was most likely for cigars, and has three spots for such. The main color is a deep brown with three patterns of the same kind; gold braches with flowers comprised of circles. Colored dots fill the petal circles, comprised of light pink, golden yellow, and maroon. There are white squiggly lines with dot heads leading from outter edge to inner edge. Piece has light-medium crazing.
