HISTORY/MARKS:
Morimura Bros. formed the trading and decorating company in 1876 which evolved into Noritake.  Noritake Company has a rich history of producing fine bone china all the way from  January 1, 1904 when the Nippon Toki Kaisha Ltd - the forerunner to the present Noritake Company - was formed in the village of Noritake, a small suburb near Nagoya, Japan.  The first reported U.S. registry for a Noritake backstamp for importing is 1911.  The backstamp on this set is the green M-in-Wreath Mark.  The M-in-Wreath Mark is attributed to Noritake and its forerunner in the 1890’s to 1921 time period.  In

, David Spain shows that Noritake substituted Japan for Nippon in their backstamps starting in 1918.  In
ABC’s of Collecting Nippon Porcelain
, Van Patten attributes the M-in-Wreath’s mark #47 to since 1911.  This seems to narrow the window of use for the M-in-Wreath mark to 1911-1918.
