I have no listing for this marking, but demand and values for mid 20th Century Japanese dinnerware, even by well known makers such as Noritake, are currently very weak. Whole sets like this by unknown makers often now sell for under $150.00 at auction.

Based on the markings. Most Pottery and porcelain made in Japan for export made prior to 1921 was marked "Nippon", pieces marked "Made in Japan" tend to post date the mid 1920's and remains in use to this day. Due to World War Two very little pottery production for the export market was made 1939-1945, "Trading with the Enemy " laws went on the books during the War blocking trade with Japan at that time.

 

A great deal of Japanese ceramics were imported after World War Two by American Import /Export companies, with several Japanese companies working under contract, with markings like this actually created by the importer rather than the Japanese manufacturer.
