- Yes, every piece is identically marked.

- I thumbed through one of Jenkins' books (may have been that one)

- most of it is of inferior quality." That may be so, but we can't all
- collect Flora Danica! :-)

- The few guides on Occupied Japan ware I was able to find didn't have
- much on dinnerware. I know there are other books out there (I've seen
- references to them) so I will keep looking. I seem to recall there was
- a discussion in this group some months back about Occupied Japan. I
- was hoping someone had saved the thread.
-
- Thanks for the valuation guide, Nancy; I hadn't saved it on any of its
- previous incarnations.

- I'm still wondering if I would be better off keeping this set and trying
- to fill in the missing pieces (8 teacups and serving pieces), or selling
- it off piece by piece, or selling it as a set...
