Identifying my Noritake China.?

I inherited some china from my grandmother and I can’t find the pattern of china on any website. It has a mark on the back and I am sure that it was made between the 40′s and 50′s. Is there any way to see if it is a fake? And should I take it to a antique shop? How do I find the right shop?

A good place to go to find the names of china patterns is Replacements, Ltd. Their web address is http://www.replacements.com
