Description: Antique Noritake Morimura Porcelain Hand Painted Sauce Bowl And Underplate Extremely rare and hard to find pattern. White interior with black background outer band, yellow border, flowers andbirds. The hand painted flowers and birds have raised textured paint. The underside of the plate and bowl are white. The outside of the bowl is white with a bird on each side. All rims are gold. The bowl has a pedestal type foot tokeep heated gravy or sauce up off the table surface. The underplate helps with this as well.The bowl holds 12 ounces and is 5 1/4" wide x 3 1/4" high. When the bowl is resting on the plate they are 3 1/2" high.The plate is 6 1/8" across.The Noritake mark is in burnt orange color. Mark: "M" for Morimura in a wreath, crowned by "NORITAKE" and below, "Hand painted" and "Made in Japan".The use of the "M" gives a date before 1953 when the long used "M" in a wreath was replaced with a "N" for Noritake. Some say the "M" was used until World War II. We were told this is from the 1920's and that it may have originally hada matching porcelain spoon. Both pieces are in very good used condition with no chips or cracks. There are some scrapes in the black band on thesaucer/plate which can be seen close-up in our last photo. Across from the scrapes there is a scarred area in the inner gold band (second to last photo).Silver tray is not included. 558200 Gray Tag 8.8.8
