Set of plates with different botanical decorations on each. Found two different marks on plates in this set. Era and any other info most appreciated.

Hi,
Your plates are Japanese Nagoya export ware from 1930's - 1940's. The lower mark is Kichizan, a porcelain painter's studio name. The mark on the top, is a very strange mark with kanji charcters of Berlin,possibly an exporter's mark.
Best Regards,
Emiko
