See also 1c, 2b, and 2c. No. 2 represents a Japanese company, and Nos. 3 and 4 are thought to be Japanese as well, though I have no evidence of that yet.

See also 5b; Walter Del Pellegrino suggests that this mark denotes the importer rather than the manufacturer. Regarding mark #6, gotheborg.com notes that it is similar to, but is not, one of Noritake's marks and seems to be of post-WWII date, possibly the 1960s.

Gotheborg.com tentatively dates mark #11 to the latter part of the 1920s. It is not a Noritake mark.

C.S. Marshall asks whether No. 14 is an import/distribution mark for Wheelock. In No. 16, "Bavaria" appears in the base of the crown.
