Today I have up for consideration a VINTAGE Fashion Manor - Fine China of Japan - "Cream & Sugar Set" . This set is in the Rosay pattern. The Creamer is 4-7/8" tall, 4-1/2" long from Spout to Handle, & 3" in diameter at the rim. The Sugar Bowl is 3-1/2" tall & 4" in diameter at the rim. This set has a White background with Pink Flowers with Blue & Green Leaves & Stems. There is a Blue & Pink border design around the rim & is Trimmed in Gold. This pattern was discontinued.
The Backstamp reads: FM- Fashion Manor - Fine China - ROSAY - Japan
The History of Fashion Manor- Fine China Company
Backstamps that use the terms "Fine China Japan" together with rather general words like "Delux" are not Brand name China companies; they are "Secondary" companies. Secondary Backstamps are those used for the purpose of exporting, marketing & retail distribution rather than for the purpose of identifying a maker. The maker in these cases did not want to be identified either because there was no kudos in their own name (too small & unheard of) or they were too recognizable (Noritake). Noritake alone used over 400 different Backstamps, only some of them are obviously attributable to them. So unlike European Backstamps, particularly UK marks, Japanese Backstamps of the 20th Century are not placed on the wares in order to identify the maker & are factors of export, marketing & distribution. The big picture in Japan's secondary Backstamping is this: there were many hundred china decorating firms active in the early to middle of the 20th century. This profusion of small makers were putting many different & varied marks on exactly the same wares, again for sales & marketing reasons known only to themselves & their agents of sales & distribution

I pack all fragile pieces well, however these pieces are VERY FRAGILE & I have no control on how packages are handled after they leave my possession. If something does break during delivery I will request pictures of the broken item(s) before I will offer a refund.
