<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 3950854, member: 8363&quot;]Now that you gave us a close up, I agree that yours is not as green, but please look at the bottom of the site that says:</p><p>&quot;<b><font size="4">Latest Fake Nippon Mark Identical to Old</font></b></p><p>A reproduction wholesaler is now selling ceramic items with a mark that is virtually identical to original marks found on ca. 1891-1921 Nippon wares. The mark is the so called green wreath mark shown in Fig. 2. The new mark, Fig. 1., is the same size and color as the original.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although new wreath marks have been used since the 1970s most new marks have been fairly easy to detect. That is no longer true. For all practical purposes, there are no meaningful differences remaining between old and new wreath marks. Since marks can no longer be used as a reliable indicator of age, buyers must use other clues. One of these is pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://image0-rubylane.s3.amazonaws.com/0/ror/1997/06_97_nippon/Images/img001.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Fig 1.
