If it says 'Handpainted in Japan', it probably postdates the Nippon era, which ended around 1920. If they weren't already there, I tend to believe that a lot of the producers of this kind of export ware wound up under the Noritake umbrella in Nagoya after World War II. These pieces would be pre-war, and the swastika motif inside the rim looks to be the Buddhist type and not Nazi, though Japan became an Axis ally with Germany during the war years.

Best regards,

Bill H.
