A BIT OF HISTORY The term “Nippon” refers to Japan in Japanese, and between 1891 and 1921, all ceramics exported from Japan to the United States were required to bear the “Nippon” mark to comply with the McKinley Tariff Act. This era is celebrated for its masterful craftsmanship, with artisans creating highly detailed handpainted designs, often incorporating gold, moriage (raised enamel), and nature-inspired motifs. These pieces were highly sought after and remain prized among collectors today. 🫖 Sold as one lot, these teacups and saucers are ideal for: • Collectors seeking rare, authentic Nippon-era treasures. • Vintage decor to enhance your home’s charm. • Elegant tea service, perfect for special occasions. 📦 Carefully packaged to preserve their beauty during shipping.
