Nippon Vases I found

Hi! Here are two vases I got at an estate sale they are Nippon Hand painted but that is all I know so far. Unfortunately they are a little dirty inside and soapy water isn't doing a whole lot but the outside is pretty. I want to sell them but not sure how much since I am not finding any exactly like them.

 

Hi, Tammy, and welcome!

I think you'll find the info you need here:
http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/noritake.shtml

This is from that site and page:

135. Mark: "M" standing for "Morimura" in a wreath, crowned by "Hand painted" and below, NIPPON. Date: Introduced in 1911 and possible in use until 1921.

... It bears a typical back stamp of Noritake, the letter "M" in a wreath and the words "Hand painted."

 

I'm new at this, so if someone wants to correct me, feel free. I have bought some vintage and antique items with difficult to remove grime on them and have had great luck using bar keepers friend soft scrub to get it off. It does say as a warning on the bottle that it can damage some old glazes, so you'll want to be careful and test a small area first. And as I said before, if this is a huge mistake, someone please let me know!

 

I believe the Morimura were brothers who founded Noritake China.
