Vintage Hotta Yu Shoten & Co Sugar Bowl This pretty Sugar Bowl is mint as in no chips or cracks or cxrazing. No staining either.
“The shop selling the wares was the Hotta Yu Co. The use of the word “Shoten” means “shop which sells wares fired from its own kilns“. The pottery mark is likely to be from the 1920-30’s. The use of NIPPON was generally discontinued after 1921.If the backstamp were to say “Hand Painted, Made in Occupied Japan”, the date would be 1945-52. “This firm made an array of tableware and kitchen ware, as well as very cute animals. Just about every design I have seen from this company is a peach. Very nice design values, yet I suspect the wares were not expensive at the time and were possibly considered ‘cheap’ mass production even though they flagged up ‘hand painted’. Fact is, all ceramic of this type would be hand-painted unless it calls for transfer printing on certain bits.” More Depression Glass Warehouse!
