Please help me identify this teapot that was my great Aunts.  The link above will take you to pics.  The mark is KMN  Noble on the bottom, that pic did not come out very good.  I have searched for quite a while and have found nothing.  Thanks to anyone who can assist.

You have a piece that is Japanese in origin and made in the 20th century for export. It is a combination of dragon ware and geisha ware. Dragon ware is very collectible and the decoration can be very elaborate.

I have not yet been able to find your exact mark or back stamp but will continue searching. There were so many Japanese companies in operation that it can sometimes be difficult to find a reference book with all of the factory marks.
