[QUOTE="UncleChuckTX, post: 9809808, member: 154"]I appreciate your help searching, Figtree! Apparently they would both have been sold as Mikasa items at retail. American Commercial Inc. is the parent company name. "George Aratani founded Mikasa as 'American Commercial Inc.' in the state of California in 1948. Initially a dinnerware importer, Mikasa grew into a dinnerware wholesaler over the next twenty years, supplying dinnerware to Bloomingdales, Macy’s, May Department Stores Company and other fine retailers. In 1957, the brand name Mikasa was introduced to the American public." [URL]https://www.mikasa.com/pages/about-mikasa[/URL][/QUOTE]
