 mitsui item detail
Pattern description: This pattern consists of a the line's house flag which measures 1" across, and a pair of lines decorating the rim - the outer line is wide, the inner line narrow. All decoration is done in olive green. On this particular item there is also a narrow line encircling the foot at the point where it joins the bowl. This detail is repeated on the lid as well.
Pattern notes: The backstamp on this piece is limited to Japanese characters, as of yet un-deciphered. This china was recovered from a sunken Japanese vessel during WW II.
