Occupied japan bowls

2 vintage “made in occupied Japan” sauce/salt bowls. One has a tiny chip, photographed. circa 1945-52. U.S occupied Japan August 1945-April 28, 1952. Not all products made in Japan between 1946 & April 1952 are marked "Made in Occupied Japan" or "Occupied Japan." Some pieces simply were marked "Japan" or "Made in Japan." Collectors of Occupied Japan material insist that "Occupied" be found in the mark for an item to be considered a true Occupied Japan collectible.
