Noritake pattern on teapot

Can anyone name this pattern on a Noritake teapot? l've just spent the last hour looking at backstamp pictures and patterns and plates.

Found nothing.

They don't look like Bird of Paradise ones.

Anyone?

What colour is the backstamp?

I hope it's in gold.

I've just looked through the Noritake for Australia and new Zealand book and it's not in there.

FYI blue backstamps are very desirable, and gold ones are few and far between. otherwise I can't help, sorry.

Backstamp is green.

Has:

Noritake (in script) then the logo of a 6 legged spider and the words 'Made in Japan' under that.

Cannot find that pattern anywhere.

Green is the regular backstamp. The 'spider' is the Maruki symbol (which traditionally means overcoming difficulties)

Unfortunately, I think you've got a few difficulties to overcome yourself 🙂 , as I don't recognise the pattern and no-one else seems to, either, at the moment.

If you hang in there someone else may come along.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
