« on: August 16, 2009, 07:53:54 pm »
Hi can anyone tell me if this is an authentic nippon mark its on the back of a small porcelain dish I picked up at a garage sale, I could only put back view of dish on post but can put face of dish if needed thanks.
also its unglazed on back except for 1/2" around edges.

Sounds and look like a Nippon mark which would date it between 1891 - 1921 after that it would be marked as Japan.  It does appear to be a bit new looking.  I would really like to see the top of the item also.  I have found a few SK Nippon items and usually brings about a fair value in comparsion to most porcelain, not quite as good as Occupied Japan, but much better then japan  ;D.  Trying to find info on SK right now, I will poke about a bit more.  Again it would be nice to see the rest of the item, this may help a bit.

Haven't seen one marked "Made in Nippon"  it looks "new" to me.

Can we see a pic of the front?

I agree with KC it's a fake.

Yea I would say the colors looks way to vivid for the Nippon era, Since Nippon means Japan, most likely it was stamped to appear to be a older version of a japan made item.  I would say you are looking at 60's or maybe 70's.
