Jag köpte det här kakfatet enkom för etiketten på baksidan:
"Presented to Miss Julia Johanson (kanske Johansson) Sep. 7th, 1934 when she and Mrs. Tjader (Tjäder) visited the home of: Mrs. A. J. Hauxhurst, 17 Lyons St., New Britain, Conn., U.S.A."
Jag väljer att inte översätta vad Jan-Erik Nilssons skrivit om stämplarna BIBI, som visas på http://gotheborg.com/marks/index_jap_marks.htm
Might be the mark of a shop or trading company that commissioned pieces for sale, and got pieces from various kilns marked like this. The mark occurs on several pieces of which some are almost identical to Kutani. Recent information has it that Bibi is the name of a family import firm that imported porcelain from Japan to Lebanon during the 1950s and 60s. This porcelain had a Bibi mark on it and was sold in Beirut. The family might also have had a porcelain import business in Palestine in the 1930s and 40s before they were forced to flee in 1947.
Det visade sig alltså att fatet är tillverkat senast under 1934, om det var nytt när det gavs i New Britain till svenskan, fröken Julia Johanson.
Jag ska göra Jan-Erik uppmärksam på denna tråd om den kan ge lite mer information om stämpeln. Hans hemsida och forum är till stor hjälp för alla som önskar information om asiatisk keramik.
