History behind the trade mark Nippon. Nippon was a very old mark that had a lot to do with the American rise of the wealthy class and the Gilded Age of the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1891, the McKinley Tariff Act was passed into law. This law stopped the import of any products that were not “plainly marked in legible English words.” When you see a “Nippon” mark on the underside of a base of a piece of ceramic, you know that you have a piece that was made in Japan. Later customs officials decided in 1921 that any piece imported from Japan should be marked “Japan” and not marked “Nippon.” If a piece is marked “Nippon,” then it was made and imported between 1891 and 1921. The mark “Hand Painted Nippon” with the distinctive M in Wreath is an example of Nippon ware and the M stands for Morimura Bros. (importers). This mark was used from 1911 until 1921.
