Re "Made in Japan," "Made in..." appears ca. 1900, becomes common ca.
1905 and "Made in Japan"is apparently on most Japanese ceramics by
1910. Most post-1945 stuff seems to be marked "Made in Occupied
Japan." Most any good ceramics guide will tell you this.

Hello,
I do not understand the context of "pre-1914" for your
Motiyama ceramics. If the ceramics is marked "Made in
Japan," I would expect this to post-date 1945. Could you respond with a
better explanation of why you find the deposit sealed
at 1914?
