Morimura Brothers M Japan Camelot 3560 Dinner Plate 10 3/8" Porcelain 1930-53
Morimura Brothers M Japan Camelot 3560 Dinner Plate 10 3/8" Porcelain 1930-53
Description: Blue Flowers On White Background, Swirl fluted, Platinum trim
Pattern: Camelot by Japan
Made in Japan. circa 1930 to 1953.
Mark: "M" in a wreath, upside down as compared to Noritake. The use of the "M" gives a date before 1953 but after 1921, from which time Japanese export companies mostly had begun to use "Japan" or "Made in Japan" in their marks. Joan C. Oates, in her book on Phoenix Bird china, attributes the M in upside-down wreath to the Noritake predecessors, the Morimura Brothers. Aimee Neff Aldren also records this as a Morimura Bros (Noritake) mark, dating post 1921 (her code MM-28), which is nor corroborated by Van Patten. I personally find it unlikely that this mark is Noritake since their corporate profile have always been to be of highest standard. Suggested date 1930s-50s. The star shape is a firing support mark for the base to rest on during firing to avoid sagging and deformation.
