Featured Antique porcelain vase and bowl....Nippon??

These have been in my curio for several years...love the looks of them. They are both porcelain and hand painted. Neither are marked. Both have a slight blue tint to the porcelain. They look like Nippon to me, but I am not an expert on porcelain, especially when they are not marked. The decoration on the vase is finer then on the bowl. Any info would be great

 

I believe you are correct that the dish at least is Nippon. The rose medallions on the dish the gold beading and the colors just scream Nippon to me. I would have no hesitations selling it as such.

The little vase also looks Nippon to me based on the way the flowers are enameled. The colors and the way those flower petals are painted plus the leaf shapes remind me of Nippon. I'm a little more hesitant on this one because I don't think I've seen that shape before. We'll see what others have to say.

I'm also more fond of the vase than the dish. It seems much more unique.

In the context of this thread, let us remember that "Nippon" is not a company - it's the Japanese name for Japan. Just as there were many Japanese companies exporting to the US market, there were also many different styles of decoration produced.

Generally accepted that the designation was no longer used after 1921, but finding a date when first seen has eluded me. Likely to have shown up as a result of whatever US import regulations first required stamping with the country of origin - 1890?

My personal opinion is that the small pot looks more like Japanese work of the late 1800's/early 1900's than the bowl does. But that doesn't mean that the bowl is from somewhere else. JMHO.

 

Bakers, my memory may have eluded me but I remember a post from MsGood2shoes saying they started using Nippon about 1891.
Both pieces look Nippon. Love the delicate painting on small pot.
