Wentworth Salad Luncheon Dessert Plate White China of Japan TRUE LOVE #2616

Today I have up for consideration a Beautiful Wentworth – Fine China of Japan Salad Luncheon Dessert Plate. This piece is in the “True Love” Pattern. This piece is 8″ in diameter & has a White background & is trimmed in Platinum. This pattern was Discontinued in the 1950’s. The Stamp reads: Wentworth – Fine China – Japan – True Love #2616 The History of the Fine China Company – Wentworth Backstamps that use the terms “Fine China Japan” together with rather general words like “Delux” are not Brand name China companies, they are “Secondary” companies. Secondary backstamps are those used for the purpose of exporting, marketing & retail distribution rather than for the purpose of identifying a maker. the maker in these cases did not want to be identified either because there was no kudos in their own name (too small & unheard of) or they were too recognizable (Noritake). Noritake alone used over 400 different Backstamps, only some of them are obviously attributable to them. So unlike European backstamps, particularly UK marks, Japanese backstamps of the 20th Century are not placed on the wares in order to identify the maker & are factors of export, marketing & distribution. The big picture in Japan’s secondary backstamping is this: there were many hundred china decorating firms active in the early to middle of the 20th century. These profusion of small makers were putting many different & varied marks on exactly the same wares, again for sales & marketing reasons known only to themselves & their agents of sales & distribution.
