I think you have just solved a bit of a mystery perhaps? Can you email me much more detailed photos of the set? I have a similar stamp and have been working it, http://mvpantiques.com/unidentified1.html My current educated guess is that this stamp is: possibly: Arnart Imports Inc. I believe Jan-Erik Nilsson to be quite possibly the leading expert in his field alive at this time, and not discounting smithsonian experts. I however disagree with the: "955. Arnart Imports Inc., Royal Carlton, was registred for porcelain tableware, in 1957; Royal Crown was registred for use on animal and bird figures 1965 - 1987. Several similar 'Royal' marks with a crown and a brand mark exists, all from the second half of the 20th century." I believe the pieces to be earlier however done on very short run production orders and by now almost forgotten "importers." http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/index_jap_marks.htm?http://gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturyjapan.shtml If you email me I will let you know what information I can gather on the "James Japanese China." I would like to see the "shape similarities" between the pieces that I have and that you have, examine the mark/stamp more closely, and finally see if there was a trademark name registry for the pieces. my email is info "at" mvpantiques The higher the resolution of the images the better.
