Description
Very fine, thin china or porcelon, 7pcs total being one center round and 6 rectangle-like with swirl in upper, outer right corner of each piece.  Hand-painted in white with rose design, crystal-like purple color on inside of rims of each.  On the back of each piece there is a red stamp (top to bottom) "CHIKARAMACHI- Hand painted" crown with 2 leaves on either side, "Made in Japan" at bottom. 
 I did find this information over the internet about this piece:  Marked Chikaramachi with a crown and laurel wreath, and the words handpainted and made in Japan, all in red.  Chikaramachi is a Noretake mark that was used in the late 1920's and is taken from the porcelain painting factory that was opened by the company on a street called Chikamarachi in Nagoya, Japan in 1928.  The factory mark was only used for a very short time.
