    Earlier I posted a "Fake" Rising Sun Hand Painted Nippon Candle Holder with a documented fake mark. As I stated in the post, The Rising Sun Mark
    will ALWAYS be a blue mark. With that being said here's a 4 1/2" Nippon Bowl with the Real Deal Mark.

    The Nippon era began in 1891 when the Japanese porcelain was clearly marked "Nippon" due to the McKinley Tariff Act. This act required that all porcelain be marked with the country of origin. ("Nippon" literally translates to "Japan".) This porcelain was made specifically to be exported to the west with designs and patterns that suited American's tastes. At that time, Japan had a thriving porcelain industry using methods used in Europe and the United States.

    The Japanese items were less expensive than pieces coming from Europe and became very popular in the U.S. The porcelain was sold in gift shops, dime stores, fairs and even at the local grocery. Nippon items were also sold by Montgomery Ward, Sears & Roebuck, mail order houses and other department stores.
    In 1921 the United States government changed its position and required that Japanese imports no longer be marked "Nippon", but with "Japan". This marks the end of the Nippon era.

    "Rising sun" Nippon. This mark is probably related to Noritake. This mark however datable to the "Nippon" period 1890-1921, probably slightly later, maybe at least into the 1930s.

      while i see your post is 7 years old, a Google search on the Rising Sun mark led me to your post! That said i love your article until the final paragraph where i got lost! If the "NIPPON" term was ceased in 1921 how is it you date your bowl to 1930???
