Morimura (1910's) Hand-Painted Peanut Bowl Set

Antique Morimura Nippon hand-painted peanut bowl set. 6" bowl with four 2-1/2" bowls. Set of 5. (DF-K6/4 #21-CK) Hallmark: Morimura Bros’ “M in Wreath” Moriage wares featured jeweled effects; the artist placed dots together to get a raised enamel decoration on the surface of a Nippon porcelain item, just like piping icing on top of a cake. Nippon vases with the green-colored NIPPON marks cost more than those with the JAPAN embossing. The price difference is simply due to the age factor. NIPPON embossed vases are the earliest models pre-1921, while JAPAN embossed vases are modern. Release Date: 1910-1912
