View Nippon Imari Sugar Bowl with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. A hand-painted Nippon porcelain sugar bowl with Imari-style decoration. Nippon porcelain refers to Japanese-made ceramics exported to the United States between 1891 and 1921, following the McKinley Tariff Act. This period saw a surge in Japanese ceramic production for export, often featuring hand-painted decorations in various styles, including Imari-inspired patterns. These pieces were popular for their affordability and decorative appeal, with many items featuring floral motifs, gilt accents, and intricate detailing. While not always marked with a specific maker's name, the 'Nippon' mark clearly indicates its origin and the era of production, making it a distinct category for collectors of early 20th-century decorative arts.
