Nippon ware

Nippon ware refers to traditional Japanese ceramics produced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially around the 1910s to 1930s. The term "Nippon" means Japan in Japanese, and these pieces often feature distinctive hand-painted designs, vibrant colors, and classic motifs inspired by nature and Japanese culture. Nippon ware was created for export, particularly to Western markets, blending Japanese artistry with Western tastes. Known for its fine craftsmanship and detailed decoration, it remains highly collectible today, representing a period of Japan's cultural export and artisanal mastery.
