Appraiser Remarks
Based on the images and the marking , your pieces are Japanese Kutani porcelain made before 1891 when the word "Nippon" would have been applied to indicate they were made in Japan, "Nippon" being the Japanese word for "Japan". One marking reads "Kutani, the other appears to read "Made In Kutani". While not mass produced in the modern sense of the word, it was made in very large numbers for the export market. Values vary by quality of the decoration and condition
