SHARD OF A SAUCER----JAPAN

[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

Interesting find. Just a small bit of history.

"Occupied Japan" (OJ) is a term used for the time period from 1945 (after World War II) through April 25, 1952; it was during this time that the Allies "occupied" Japan.

all have a good un...........

Cool find! I collect occupied Japan stuff and I'm always amazed at some of the places I find them.

If it's marked

Nippon - it is (before japan was japan).

Japan - it is (pre WWII).

Occupied japan - it is (from the end of the war & until we left officially).

Made in japan - it is (after the war after we were done occupying it).

I collect all but the last (Made in japan) as it's not worth anything, and is usually low quality.

Here's is one of my cabinets full of a LOT of nippon, japan, and occupied japan as well as other stuff

Thanks Sherman & Nana,

I forgot to add,

nice find there Sherman,

wish it would have been fully intact when you found it

I may have wanted to buy it from you (if it would've been for sale)!

Great collection lonewolf, how long have you been collecting these? Now i know what the marks mean, thanks I always check those palte fragments and take them home if they have a mark on the bottom.

Thanks, Lonewolfe, for the info. I "had" a pretty little cup and saucer set from Occupied Japan that had been in my family for years. Bumped it wrong one day and broke the cup. Ms. Clumsey.

Jake,

I've been collecting pottery, art glass, salt/pepper shakers, china, bottles, coins, relics, tokens, antique furniture, and an aray of other things for over 25 yrs

1 word of advice/caution though,

if you invest in this kind of stuff thru-out the yrs, and you ever get married,

don't EVER get divorced unless you like giving 1/2 of your stuff away (and usually the "better 1/2")! lol

I "had" pieces worth 100s and even 1000s (still have some- ok more than some) but,

a LOT of the better stuff was lost in a bitter divorce/battle (War of the roses you might say)!

As someone told me once,

while you're young & before you make your fortune, go out and find the woman you hate the most, buy her a car, a house, and everything to go in it, give it to her, and get it over with!

Good luck, and HH
