They were often brought back by service personnel as well as made for export. There are different types of base, the Geisha type is the most common, some of the rare ones are much sought after.

There isn't a known register of who made what, so unless you can find this mark on a set which also has the makers mark in Japanese it is unlikely to be able to find the maker.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
