INCC Trivia

QUESTION: What is Nippon?
Nippon is porcelain that was made in Japan between1891 and 1921. It was made from a special clay that was found on the western region of Japan. Many of the Nippon pieces were hand painted by native Japanese artists and only the later pieces were decorated by using stencils. Most pieces will be marked on the bottom with what is referred to as a "back stamp" some of which are available on this home page. To view more one can become a member where more than one hundred back stamps are available on the members-only page of the web site.

Welcome Nippon Collectors!

Welcome to the exciting world of collecting Nippon Porcelain!


The International Nippon Collectors Club (INCC) was founded in 1982 by a group of Nippon enthusiasts with a vision to form an organization through which fellow collectors with a common interest in Nippon could exchange knowledge and share friendship. Little did they know that this once small group would expand to a membership representing virtually every state as well as Canada and Japan.
