Dear dealers, anyone have a date schedule for mark changes, referring to porcelain. [View all]

Import laws were initiated starting in 1890's. They changed several times over the turn of the century(1900).
I have a very large dinner service on which the marks are different. They started with only pattern name, Then to Nippon,changed to "Japan", then to Made in Japan, then to Noritake/Nippon, Made in Japan.
I'm going to try and sell this service(135 to 145 pieces) but I'd like to be able to explain the change in markings.

I bought this whole set in the 1970's but never had the need to know the dates but now I would love the info.
I googled it but could not find out the correct info.
If you sell china, perhaps you know when marks were changed and in what intervals. The last date on these pattern marks is about the 1920's.

Thanks to all.
