Hi sal, the mark 'Made in Japan' was used from 1921 until 1941, and then again after the occupation from 1953 onward. The mark indicates it was probably intended for export as items made for home use had no marking requirement. Unless someone recognizes the piece or style, dating is iffy, but my guess would be post-1953. Regards, Jim
Thanks Jim
I appreciate your information.
