In the history of Japanese porcelain marks, "Nippon" mark is a term drawn from a relatively short period in the long history of Japan and Japanese pottery. It refers to the period roughly between 1890 and 1920.. After that the United States began requiring the term "Japan" instead of the term "Nippon".

Moriage is a style of decoration used by porcelain manufacturers during the late 1800s/early 1900s. It is the art of laying "beads" of porcelain on the item prior to firing in the kiln. Most typically it was decorated later in gold.. See less
