From the Mountains to the Prairies, we are offering a gorgeous
NIPPON DIVIDED SERVER.
This porcelain NIPPON (Japan) Divided Server with a center handle features Hand Painted WILD ROSES, which are the North Dakota state flower.
On back, the 47 Mark is a Green M in a Wreath, with Hand Painted and Nippon around the Wreath. According to Page 108 of Collectors Encyc. of NIPPON PORCELAIN Fifth Series by Joan F. Van Patten, the M stands for Morimura Bros., Importer. The Mark was put in use in 1911.
The author’s Glossary reveals that Nippon sounds like Neehon in Japanese. In her book, the author makes reference on page 11 to another book written in 1918, Japan at First Hand, by Joseph I. C. Clarke. In the book, Mr. Clarke described in detail his visit to Japan. He denounced inferior porcelain wares made in obscure factories. But he mentioned that the MORIMURA porcelain factory manufactured high quality porcelain.
