Hi,
Inherited two lovely porcelain ladies' busts with marks N in circle followed by number.
Would like to know where they were made and when?
TIA.

Definitely made in Japan. Not Noritake. One of the giftware importers like Ardalt or Sadek etc. Likely late 1950s to early 1960s. "N in a C" a commonly misunderstood mark. Perhaps someone has a link to the ebay guide concerning this mark?

it is a shame that ebay removed the many great guides to help collectors. this mark was beginning to be understood by the wider community but has again become the subject of egregious fraud and misunderstanding. the mark was used by many importers and exporters of japanese porcelains. it was never and will never be a camille naudot mark or newcomb college mark.
