[QUOTE="Isabella27, post: 4485602, member: 76962"]Fascinating, thank you so much! According to Wikipedia (not sure how accurate it is): "Tokanabe ware was typically black with a stippled texture and hand-painted [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief']raised relief[/URL] designs. Some pieces were also produced in brown, gold or orange. It was stamped [I][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan']Nippon[/URL][/I] until 1921, when the US Congress passed legislation requiring all products manufactured in Japan for export to the United States to be marked [I]Made in Japan."[/I] This means it was made post 1921 for the US market but somehow it ended up in Canberra, Australia![/QUOTE]
