In 1921 American import laws changed to require the place of origin be marked on a product in English. Since “Nippon” was more a description of an island and a native word to that island, the word “Nippon” was no longer acceptable for imports and the new law. Backstamps after 1921 state “Japan” or “Made in Japan”. Thus, it is easier to identify the earlier pieces of China by those marked with “Nippon” and later pieces by those marked with “Made in Japan”.

Production Technique: Studio Crafted. Original/Licensed Reproduction: Licensed Reproduction. 1940’s?
