Subject:Nippon porcelain plate
Posted By: Chris J. Sun, Jan 29, 2017 IP: 31.178.3.136
Is this beautiful porcelain plate real Nippon plate? What factory has made it? My opinion is that the quality of painting is quite high. Diameter of the plate is ca. 30 cm

"Nippon" is a transliteration of the Japanese term for "Japan". Ceramics marked "Nippon", "Handpainted Nippon", and the likes were exported from Japan from about 1891-1920 in response to the American McKinley Tariff Act of 1890, which required point-of-origin marking on all imported goods. The US law changed in about 1920, requiring the Japanese to use the mark "Made in Japan" in English.

The rising sun device in the dish you show here is iconic of Japan and was used in some Japanese porcelain marks in conjunction with kanji characters during the early 20th century. However, the rising sun emblem with the term "Nippon Mart" rings of the kind of mark found on late 20th century or subsequent products. A Google query of "Nippon Mart" found the English term used by a firm or firms currently active in retail marketing of home products by outlets operating from Social Media platforms.

Best regards,

New. Made for export. Some sort of printing technique, as can be seen on the 'banzi'-border.
