China Identification Guide 7: Meito, Celebrate, Diamond, Empress, Hira, Imperial, Jyoto, National, Princess, and Regal

China Identification Guide 7 features the patterns of Meito as well as those of other manufacturers or distributors of Japanese dinnerware. Each image is digitally captured in full-color and is listed with pattern name and trim color. A brief history of Meito is included followed by the patterns they produced. Smaller manufacturers with unknown company histories are shown following Meito, illustrating many patterns that are very similar, perhaps even produced at the same factory.
