Nippon Porcelain
Nippon porcelain refers to vases, teapots, wall plaques, humidors, and other
ceramic objects stamped with the word Nippon on their bases. The practice
began in 1891 in response to the U.S. McKinley Tariff Act, which forbade the
import of items that werent plainly marked, stamped, branded, or labeled in
legible English words. Nippon is the English spelling of a pronunciation of
what Americans call Japan, but in 1921, the word was ruled Japanese in origin,
so Nippon was no longer accepted by U.S. Customs Agents. From then on,
imported Japanese china was stamped Japan. Today, Nippon-marked porcelain
tends to have a higher value than pieces marked Japan, which means collectors
should be warydemand for Nippon porcelain has created a market for pieces
with fake transfer-based marks.
Japanese potters of the Nippon era, including those working at the company
that became Noritake, were trained in European styles and successfully imitated
the work of Limoges, Belleek, and R.S. Prussia. These pieces, meant to be sold to
the United States, were hand-painted in an elaborate manner that didnt appeal
to the spartan Japanese tastes of the day. Imagery on Nippon porcelains ranged
fromanimals such as owls, horses, and dogs to elaborate splays of flowers, some
rendered in a technique called coralene. Another unique application was
moriage, in which clay was applied to a piece like icing on a cake, before being
glazed or gilded. Tapestry decorations were another favorite of Nippon artists.
In those pieces, the surfaces appeared textured by fabric, which, in fact, was
applied to the clay when it was still damp before being burned away in the kiln.
