Nippon porcelain refers to Japanese made ceramics exported to the United States between 1891 through 1921, marked with “Nippon” to comply with the McKinley Tariff Act. “Royal Nippon” is a specific mark used by several Japanese manufacturers, often indicating a higher quality or a particular line of decorative porcelain. These pieces were frequently handpainted with elaborate floral designs, showcasing the artistry of Japanese porcelain painters.
Such a gorgeous vase, and yet it was very difficult to photograph! It has a combination of a matte background, but it also has glossy highlights throughout the painting, that give it a dimensional look—unfortunately, the highlights photograph as white—making it look as though it’s paint is missing! This work of art is in excellent condition—and it has ALL of its paint! ;) See less
