Moriyama Japan Nappy Dish Floral Rose

This is a beautiful nappy, floral print with silver trim and markings as shown in pictures. I see no chips or cracks. There is visible wear of the trim. There is the crackling effect of age underneath the glaze which is visible in pictures, so please examine them carefully.

Measures 6 inches across.

I do not know what era this dish is from. I have had it for a few years. I purchased it because I thought it was pretty and have displayed it on a shelf.

Below please see information about the markings.

Moriyama Pottery was located in MoriMachi in Shizuoka prefecture. Moriyama Pottery was established in 1911 by Hidekichi Nakamura who was taught pottery making by Seison Suzuki. There are currently four studios continuing the Moriyama tradition in and around Morimachi and they are Seison, Seizon, Nakamura and Tame. There seems to be two primary stamps: one appears to be a crown with a wreath of leaves similar to the wreath found on the Noritake stamp. This stamp is marked “Moriyama Hand Paint Japan.” The other is a bouquet of flowers and is marked “Moriyama Made in Japan.” The MM MARK, stands for ‘Moriyama Morimachi’ and has been referenced to the Moriyama Factory at Morimachi Shizuoka Prefecture Japan.
