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?
