How old is china marked Nippon?
1 Answer
China marked Nippon may be up to 130 years old. In 1891, Japanese artisans began marking their pieces with the word Nippon to comply with the McKinley Tariff Act, which required all porcelain to bear the name of the country that produced it. Nippon is a direct translation of Japan. Shop a selection of Nippon china on 1stDibs.
