I can post fotos but the question of the moment is who is T. Honda? I have plates marked with the old Noritake mark on the back. Each plate is signed (I think is says) T Honda. Is that possible? Can't find anything on this person. thanks ahead of time for your help

Thanks Sanmar, you are a life saver. I have one other that I "thought" was Noritake but now I am not sure. Do you mind if I post that one too? I hope not. Here is the other one.

T. Honda was the artist that painted this scene. Can't help you there. The backstamp is from the very early 1920's or after 1918. Best I can do for you. The other one is not Noritake & I am not familiar with this backstamp.

WOW Sanmar!!! Glad you showed up. I was about to tell her it was a promotional giveaway from the Honda Motorcycle dealership in Tulare, Calif.

Thanks so much Sanmar. Are there Noratake artists that are more famous or more valuable than others? I sent replacements the foto of the other plate. The one I posted second. Hopefully they will be able to help with that one.
