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. The mark on this is the Nippon Meito China (Crown) which is Joan Van Patten's mark #10 which was used from 1908-1921 in Nagoya, Japan (ABC's of Collecting Nippon Porcelain).
