Hi, I’m trying to identify a few figures. Two have the same marking with the word Japan under them, the other is just marked Occupied Japan. I would like to know if anyone can identify the brand, or tell me if they have any value. Thanks.
The two marked ones are the girls. The Occupied Japan one is the all white porcelain with gold trim. It’s of a boy and an accordian.
Ok !! First,, items made and marked “Occupied Japan” means they were made during the American occupation of Japan 1945 through 1952 give or take a month or two !! Many of these were export items and were sold here in the U.S. !! They made all types of ceramic and porcelain items and are collected by many !! Check ebay for prices !!
The mark in the pic which is a clover with a bow at bottom and laurel wreath was used by Nippon Yoko Boeki Co, Japan. They made the same type export ware and are still in business at last count !! The mark can have a symbol that looks similar to an S on some items !! The word Nippon also means Japan !!
As to value,, small figures like this are usually sold on ebay for a few dollars !!
