HISTORY/MARKS: Meito China was in operation from 1908-1970's. In 1908, Kotero Asukai, who was a former employee of Noritake, founded the Nagoya Seito Sho Company which operated until sold during WWII and the name changed to Narumi Seito Sho. The Meito China mark continued to be used with variations in the crown mark. Since many Noritake artisans joined Asukai, the hand painted porcelain shows a marked resemblance to Noritake. This mark is identified by the website marks4ceramics as mark #4 used in the 1950's-1970's time period.
