Teapot made in Japan

Stamped “made in Japan” but when? Any ideas?

 

1921 or more recent (when US import marking requirements added "Made in" and the actual country name as known in English.) I have a creamer/sugar set that was my grandmother's that also has that raised star underneath. It isn't exclusive to a single maker, but rather a structural element. I would guess your pot is pre-WWII but that is just a guess.

It's very nice!

 

I would guess pre-WWII also. It is very nice. I've not seen that painted design before.

 

Welcome Eric.

 

It is definitely pre-World War II as it belonged to my great grandmother. I guess this must be the creamer, unfortunately it got chipped.

 

Y'know......it would be helpful if when you ask for help , you also include what you already know about the item.....

 

So, we have seen the teapot and the creamer in the above posts. I found the sugar online. https://www.cyberattic.com/stores/s...and-painted-sugar-Mt-Fuji-scenery-Star-bottom by searching "Mt. Fuji" and "Bamboo" and "Tea Set" in Google.

 

Not wanting to prejudice any opinion by assertion, as I don’t really know when she would have acquired it you see. Having someone with knowledge inform me that the stamp means after a certain date gives me the confidence that it wasn’t before that time. Otherwise, Great grandma was around in the mid-1800’s and before her time she also had a mother, grandmother, etc.

 

Wow good thinking. That one appears to be in much better condition, maybe even made later? I notice the white portion at the bottom is all the way down to the bottom on that piece as opposed to floating up a little higher like on the two pieces that I have. Also two of the flower blossoms are seen by themselves on the motif and not connected to anything else. Pretty cool.
