🔴 What Does “Occupied Japan” Mean?
After World War II, from 1945 to 1952, Japan was under Allied occupation. Products made during this period were often stamped with “Made in Occupied Japan.”
The ceramic and porcelain industry was a significant part of Japan’s economic recovery, helping the country rebuild both culturally and monetarily. These exports not only provided income but also showcased Japanese craftsmanship to the world, making “Occupied Japan” items quite special to collectors today.
▪️ Historic Appeal: Owning a piece marked “Occupied Japan” is like holding a small fragment of post-war history.
▪️ Charming Design: The delicate hand-painted flowers and subtle gold details add a romantic, vintage flair to any room.
▪️ Easy to Light Up: Uses a standard medium screw base (E26) with a common A19 bulb—so no hunting for specialty bulbs.
▪️ Shade or No Shade?: The existing shade is included if you want it (though it’s a bit aged and yellowed). It attaches via an “Uno Lampshade Fitter,” which is super easy to replace if you prefer a different style.
▪️ Small & Versatile: Great for a bedside table, desk, or accent spot—its petite size makes it oh-so-convenient.
