Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your pot de chambre is Chinese not Japanese, and most probably of post 1950s manufacture.

This illustration is most certainly of a Japanese scene, but the stamped mark clearly reads Zhong Guo Zhi Zao - Made in China.

The Guo character is written in the simplified form, which would generally indicate a data after 1956.
