Re: occupied Japan 17 piece tea set hand painted gold
<p>Sorry,</p><p>I am not sure of the makers mark -</p><p>I do know that the "Made in Occupied Japan" mark </p><p>usually indicates a date of between 1946-1952. </p><p> </p><p>Thats when Noritake used it on their china.</p><p>Rose China Made in Occupied Japan<br />1946 - 1952<br /> As previous mark, but was used till around 1952 till the end of the Occupied Period.</p><p>http://www.noritakecollectorsguild.info/backmarks.html</p><p> </p>… info from Ebay:</p><p>1947-1952 OCCUPIED JAPAN/MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN ERA</p> <p>The UNITED STATES occupied Japan from Sept. 2,1945, until April 28, 1952. The Occupied Japan backstamp Era truly began August 15, 1947 when the first shipment of Occupied Japan ceramics arrived in America. The U>S> Customs Bureau decreed in 1949 that Japanese goods could be marked"OCCUPIED JAPAN". "MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN","JAPAN"or"MADE IN JAPAN". Again, some were not marked at all. Occupied ware has its ardent collectors as well, but prices seem to be about equal to or (in some cases) lower than early Made in Japan</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
