Nippon China and The McKinley Tariff Act The McKinley Tariff Act was passed by the United States Congress and enacted in 1890. This law required that all manufactured goods imported to the United States be marked with the country of origin. As "Nippon" was the Japanese word for the country of Japan, goods made there for import into the United States were marked "Nippon" to comply with the law. This stood in effect until 1921 when it was ruled that the country of origin needed to be in English, and thus from the period between the passage of the Mckinley Act in 1890 and the new ruling in 1921, "Nippon" appeared in authentic marks. From 1921 on, any Japanese porcelain exported to the United States was marked "Japan" instead of "Nippon.' Please swipe to see all pictures. Condition: Excellent. No chips or breaks.
