<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 3979868, member: 18716&quot;]Firstly check what it is made of, Kutani is always porcelain, so if it is pottery then that pretty much rules it out from the get-go.&nbsp; It would also be very unusual for a pre WW2 Japanese item to have Western numerals incised to the base, which again pretty much rules out it being Meiji.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one that does say Japan :</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/2674383/1920s-japanese-kutani-porcelain-cat-6" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.chairish.com/product/2674383/1920s-japanese-kutani-porcelain-cat-6" rel="nofollow">https://www.chairish.com/product/2674383/1920s-japanese-kutani-porcelain-cat-6</a></p><p><br /></p><p>They listed it as 1920&#039;s, but I think it is much more likely to be post war having &#039;Made in Japan&#039; on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think [USER=50]@say_it_slowly[/USER] has it right and it is German.&nbsp; This looks like one of those cases where items are easily mixed up due to commonalities.&nbsp; Interesting the one link SiS posted said Kutani, but then the telling comment &#039;from a German collection&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
