MARKS: on the bottom in black block letters:
- Maruhon Ware

- Japanese
- Pat. No. 71952 (It's possible I misread the numbers)
CONDITION: Very good vintage condition with the following caveats:
- There is a spot of glaze miss that occurred during manufacturing (see second to last picture)
- There is an area on one of the leaves where there are two flea bites out of the surface. Nothing deep, more like flaked off - see last picture
- Upon close inspection there is some wear in the center of each compartment; a little dullness to the shine which would be normal use wear for an item this old.
