<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Junk Lady&#039;s Son, post: 4536345, member: 77873&quot;]Yesterday I hit a small jackpot of glassware at an antique mall in one of the very messy booths where piles of boxes have to moved and sorted through. (I <i>love</i> those kinds of spots...) I picked up quite a few really nice pieces and sets, but one has me second guessing myself after looking at it more closely.</p><p><br /></p><p>A set of four Japanese plates caught my eye at $1 each. They&#039;re definitely handpainted and show signs of aging (particularly the gold gilting), but the Nippon stamp was added on top of the glaze after the firing process. It even overlapped on one of the four plates. Is this simply a case in which they may have been designated for export after being made, or are they not really from the Nippon era?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
