Before asking for help on this, I have checked and double checked all of the antique mark books I have atleast twice. I have a lunch set Really cute but I can't figure out it's age. I think it's Nippon but maybe Noritake (I hope) I really would appreciate someone taking a look at these marks and let me know what date and company are these related to? Any books that you can suggest that would be helpful in tasks like this?
Thanks so much
Below is the mark of the little cup:

This is NOT Noritake. This is exactly what it says. "Craftsman China" It is listed in Replacements Ltd. Worth $19.00 per place setting. Check with Replacements.com for other values. They have about 40-50 patterns listed. None of great value. This is one othe best. DEFINTELY NOT NIPPON. This is post WWII.

Kiara, dadofstickboy and Sanmar, thanks so very much for your help. I am such an idiot. I held both pieces in my hand, scanned the mfg mark on both pieces cut the scan down to size, listed etc. I was reading "california china" not the correct Caftsman China! I don't have any excuses except I broke my foot the other day. I guess I SHOULD be taking those pain meds after all.
It isnt a dinner set but a unique tea set with the little egg shell tea cup fits into it's little divit or what ever it's called that is on the plate. The cup is very light and very very thin. Kind of cute.
Again, I really appreciate your help. For the next few weeks, I will be hopalong.

Sorry to hear about your foot, but you're not supposed to take it literally when they tell you to REBOOT your computer
