LOCATION:{location}
DESCRIPTION:Alderfer Auction’s Nippon porcelain sale focuses predomina
 ntly on porcelain from the years 1891-1921. In 1891\, the McK
 inley Tariff Act was passed in the United States. This stopp
 ed the import of any products that were not “plainly marke
 d….in legible English words”. Imported porcelain from Ja
 pan was marked Nippon which means Japan. The Nippon mark ser
 ved its purpose to comply with the McKinley Tariff Act for 3
 0 years. When searching for Nippon for one’s collection\, 
 the term Old Noritake may be found. This simply refers to Ni
 ppon before 1921. Post 1921 the porcelain manufacturer becom
 es The Noritake Company. In 1921 US Customs began insisting 
 that any pieces imported to the United States were to be mar
 ked simply Japan not Nippon\, making this porcelain relativel
 y easy to date. This particular collection of Nippon contai
 ns a wide range of beautiful pieces\, including Egyptian and 
 North African designs\, Dark and White Woodland patterns\, Cor
 alene  (created with tiny glass beads added into the porcel
 ain then forged by heat into the surface)\, moriage (raised s
 lip decoration with often with gilt glaze)\, tapestry (textil
 e is applies to wet porcelain and then burned away during fi
 ring leaving a textured pattern)\, jeweled (enamel or slip ad
 ded to decoration)\, relief plates\, humidors\, tea sets and mu
 ch more. Every porcelain collector needs a selection of Nipp
 on to make their collection complete.
