Description

This is a beautiful Tray

Marked Nippon Handpainted on the bottom

I don't know about this so I did google the backmark and found: HTTPS://gotheborg.com/marks/noritake.shtml137. Mark: "Komaru" symbol. The center symbol said to be taken from the Japanese character "Komaru", meaning "overcoming difficulties". Crowned with "hand painted" and below the mark "Nippon". According to the Noritake company tradition this mark was designed when meeting the different culture of the west early in the 20th century caused many problems, also known as the "tree crest mark" which is the clan crest of the Morimura family. According to recent information from the Noritake Company the correct (current) term for this mark should be 'Maruki'. Very early mark, possibly the 1910's.

It has yellow and white flowers and pink flowers with a gold edging (the edging is wearing off)

There is a spot where it looks like the china is a bit worn

Black specks are the paint
