Need pattern ID on Noritake china set from occupied Japan!
| | |
Posted by soldierpyz (My Page) on Tue, Jan 5, 10 at 21:11
Hello everyone,
I have recently come into possession of my grandmother's set of Noritake china that her husband (my grandfather... naturally) bought for her after WWII. It is a beautiful 12 place setting set with a mark that states "Noritake China - (M in wreath) - made in occupied Japan". The only issue is there is no pattern name or number on the mark, and I have had no luck searching for similar pieces. Please help me identify this pattern, as I'd like to replace two missing bread-and-butter plates to make a complete set. I know this is a daunting task, what with there being 400+ marks and near countless patterns made by Noritake and all, but thanks for any information you are willing to share!
Pics below, let me know if they don't work...

I suggest up email that picture to Replacements or Beverly Bremer or Tabletops...
Surely you realize what a very special thing you have being labeled Occupied Japan?
I would guess you can replace a piece in the same pattern, but perhaps not with the occupied label.
It's lovely......you are very lucky!

| Thanks for the tip, I will surely do that. Actually the Occupied Japan label was what piqued my interest originally. I have always had a fascination with historical 'artifacts' and this set fits the bill! Thanks again. |

Does every piece have the OJ mark?
I am guessing that immediately after the end of the war that Noritaki wasn't cranking out china sets....So this may be rather late in the period. And a bit of an oddity....there was a lot of schlock that made it's way here with the OJ mark....but I have seen precious little "good stuff".

| Beautiful!! I looked through my Nippon, 3rd series Collector's Encyclopedia of Nippon porcelain by Joan F. Van Patten & nothing like it in that book. Might try the replacement services & type in Noritake or Morimura Bros occupied Japan dinnerware & they should have some come up. You have a lovely set!! |

| Is this it? I can't tell because replacements . ltd has such a bad picture, but it could be, from a distance. All I know is it sure isn't MY pattern! :) |

| Thank you all for your help, I sent in the pictures to replacements.com as suggested and they got back to me in 2 days with the pattern! It's called Lynbrook. Thanks again everyone. |

We have a 12 piece set that is identical to yours. When we bought our new old house, we purchased it from the owners family. Some is marked made in occupied Japan and others are not.
We use it for special occasions only. |

| Wow, lucky house! I wonder what time frame the china that is not marked occupied Japan came from. Replacements.com listed them as all having the occupied mark, surely yours are more rare! |
