Re: my enigma

This is a NIPPON (old Noritake), very nice! Search ebay for BB Nippon Japan vases, and you'll see. Don't know the date, sorry.

Re: my enigma

Oh, Usually these were made out of bone porcelain china. BB mark dates to around 1950-1960.

1930s Nippon Bibi Vase Hand Painted · BungalowHeritage. $65.00

BIBIMight be the mark of a shop or trading company that commissioned pieces for sale, and got pieces from various kilns marked like this. The mark occurs on several pieces of which some are almost identical to Kutani. Recent information has it that Bibi is the name of a family import firm that imported porcelain from Japan to Lebanon during the 1950s and 60s. This porcelain had a Bibi mark on it and was sold in Beirut. The family might also have had a porcelain import business in Palestine in the 1930s and 40s before they were forced to flee in 1947.
