Given the "Made in China" marking, it was made after 1914. Given the "Decorative use only. Not for food use." marking, it means it was made after it was realized that lead can leach from the pottery into the food. You can probably find when that marking was required. I'm too lazy, but it was probably second half of the 20th century.

I think "Decorative use only." probably pretty well describes its value also.

Cheers,
Stan
