What is Nippon moriage?
1 Answer

Nippon moriage is a specific type of pottery produced in Japan from 1891 to 1921. The U.S. McKinley Tariff Act required all imported pottery to bear the name of its place of origin, and the word "Nippon" translates to Japan. Moriage describes pottery that features raised slip decorations, giving it three-dimensional details. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Japanese moriage pottery.
