Ok

 

Good work though you can put up to 10 on one post.

 

As far as I can figure from the site linked below.....It dates from 1918......It aslo says (I think) that SEDAN is the first dinnerware pattern made by Noritake. But I may be misunderstanding something. Anyway, scroll down the page to the marks area and look at the 1918 and 1926 marks and read what it says to the right of them.

My dish also says Handcrafted Nippon

 

Sorry Handpainted

 

Well the key there is the word Nippon. If you read what is written by the 1926 mark.....it explains that Nippon was not supposed to be used after 1890 but somehow some snuck through

 

Is that a bad thing or good thing

 

It's a good thing......I have found that collectors prefer NIPPON Marks vs. JAPAN Marks.

 

Thank you very much!

 

And you can't beat free!

 

Definitely can't ! I can't wait to take them to the antique dealer

 

Here is what is on the Replacements site for the "Sedan" pattern by Noritake:

And here is a page there with history of the company.

And one more history from gotheborg.com

Don't be disappointed when you take it to the antique dealer. May not bring a lot of dollars.

 

At auction it might bring 7.5, together.
China is a hard sell, even in sets.
You'd do better to sell it online

 

7.50
