    To date Japanese porcelain, examine its markings. Generally, the name Nippon appeared on pieces produced between 1891 and 1921. From 1945 to 1952, makers placed a mark that read "Made in Occupied Japan." A piece that is marked simply "Japan" or "Made in Japan" may date from the period just before or during World War II or from after the end of occupation in 1952. When in doubt, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer for help with dating. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Japanese porcelain.
