<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Francisco G Kempton, post: 4405465, member: 22714&quot;]In fact I had not read your question properly. The Nippon appreciation or devotion is very much an American hobby, as Nippon is unique to America due to the Mckinley and Customs rule 1891 -1921 creating the Nippon era which is unique to USA&gt; </p><p><br /></p><p>In uk for example and europe Japan was also importing and was also greatly influential and appreciated. In 1867 at the Paris internationl exhibition/exposition Japan won huge acclaim for it&#039;s beautiful Satsuma. Noritake for example would not be considered Nippon in the UK, tehy are simply Noritake from Japan, while the foudner of Nortiake the mourmiar brothers do require mention as they are the quentiessential Nippon in USA. However many Nortiake in the Uk make in and around 1908 - 1921 are not considered Nippon and are not reffered to as Nippon and do not bear the Nipppon mark, despite being made by the some of the greatest nippon producers in the USA. ( however this is just my perspective) </p><p><br /></p><p>Many Meiji era porcelain from Japan still has Dai Nihon ( Great Japan) 大　日本 </p><p>or most of the time simply <a href="https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/%E5%A4%A7%E3%80%80%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/%E5%A4%A7%E3%80%80%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC" rel="nofollow">大　日本</a>&nbsp; which is Dai Nihon ( Great nippon) </p><p><br /></p><p>In the Uk noritake maybe in reaction the the McKinely tarrif registered their own trade mark in the UK in 1908. It had the Maruki mark ( also known as the Komaru mark) with Made in Japan underneath. These ware are the same ware that in the USA would have had previously been Nippon marked. </p><p><br /></p><p>So the same ware can be found in europe with different backmarks than that to the USA which all had the Nippon mark. Nippon is very much a Usa-Japan 1891 -1921 unique period that is not relevant to the rest of the world where Japan would have used more traditional backmarks if any such as the Nihon mark <a href="https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/%E5%A4%A7%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/%E5%A4%A7%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC" rel="nofollow">大日本</a> above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
