What is a Nippon vase?
1 Answer
A Nippon vase refers to a ceramic vase stamped with “Nippon”. In 1891, the USA forbade items that weren’t plainly marked or stamped, so Japan began stamping its porcelain exports with “Nippon”, which translates to “Japan”. You’ll find a variety of Nippon ceramics from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
