Bearing the iconic “M in wreath” mark of the Morimura Brothers, this Nippon porcelain plate represents one of the most collectible signatures in Japanese export ceramics. Morimura Bros. played a vital role in introducing Japanese porcelain to the West, establishing studios specifically to cater to American tastes.
The plate’s delicately painted floral composition, possibly with raised enamels, exemplifies the skill and subtlety characteristic of Morimura ware. Its symmetrical layout and soft palette align with both Japanese sensibility and Victorian-era European taste, for which it was tailored.
As part of the broader “Nippon” period, this plate remains a gem for serious collectors — both for its artistry and for the historical significance of the Morimura firm in cross-cultural design history
