<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4460297, member: 7360"]Wow, thank you Laura for all your work! But the mystery deepens! Although it has the exact same name and pattern number, the pattern on the cup and saucer is of sycamore leaves and seeds, while mine is of pine needles and cones. Perhaps Essence in Blue was a set of co-ordinating botanical patterns rather than just one pattern. And, as Francisco pointed out, if it is only on sale in Japan, why the backstamp in English? Although if it was made for the home market rather than export, that would explain why there is no country of origin. If only two listings turned up for the last four years, then it seems to be a rare pattern (or set of patterns) in Japan as well. I've just tried to access the Japanese auction websites and found two other listings, on Mercari, both of the sycamore pattern. I think I need to hang onto this plate for a while, until I can contact a collectors' club and learn more about it. It's obviously not worth a fortune, but I hate selling something before I know all about it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
