Questions About Japanese Antique Marks
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    To identify antique clockmakers' marks, try taking a photo with your mobile device. A reverse image search may turn up a match that will allow you to make a positive identification. If not, type a description of the marking into a search engine or review image guides and other references published on trusted online resources. Alternatively, you can use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Find a wide variety of antique clocks on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    To tell if your Japanese pottery is antique, look for markings, which usually appear on the bottoms of pieces. If you see the word "Nippon," your piece was likely produced between 1891 and 1921, making it an antique. Pieces marked with the words "made in occupied Japan" originated between 1945 and 1952 and are vintage, based on their age. A "made in Japan" marking may indicate a vintage or contemporary piece. If you don't see any of these markings, consult trusted online resources to get a rough idea of when your pottery was produced. Any piece that dates back 100 years or more is antique. Should you encounter difficulty with the dating process, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Japanese pottery.
