1920 Morimura Brothers Noritake Art Deco Porcelain Teapot

Made between 1891 and 1921, the word "Nippon" often appears with other marks that identify the maker. Most famous is the M in a wreath mark used by Morimura Brothers from about 1911 to 1921. Some pieces were hand-decorated with landscapes or portraits. Porcelains marked "Nippon" are collected by many today.
