Hello everyone,
I have this creamer made by Mikasa Fine China, Jyoto Japan. Checked all over the Internet and can't find out the pattern name. Seems to be an older piece.
On the bottom, below the logo, is the word UME and the number 8240. Doesn't sound like a pattern name to me but I'm certainly not an expert.
Here are a couple of pictures.
Maybe some of you recognize it or can point me in the right direction.

First of all Mikasa has never made china. They bought out a company named Narumi to make china for them. Go to Replacements.com. They may be able to tell you the actual pattern name & value. Unless it is a rare piece, it isn't worth a whole lot. Mikasa & Noritake are have indauntered the market so badly that there is very little value left in either

Lucy; To give you an idea of the mark up that Replacements gets. They are paying $1.00 for that creamer!! I really didn't take a good look at the backstamp until now. My replacements supplier index does show it.
