In 1891 the federal government required all items being imported to be marked with the country of origin. In 1914 they required items to be marked "made in" and the country of orign. Then in 1921 the government said that "Nippon" was a foreign language name and required items be marked in English thus items had to be marked Japan. So items marked "Nippon" are from 1891 to 1921. Note unmarked pieces may be from this time period and had paper labels that are now missing or were made for the local marked and not marked for export.

When was it required to stamp made in Japan on pottery and porcelain?
Here are the why and how, also the the time, an excerpt and the site:The case of Nippon or Japanese Porcelain marks is a bit more peculiar. The word "NIPPON" is the official name of the country of Japan and Japanese makers and trading companies initially marked their porcelain with the name Nippon. However, in 1921, the US Congress requested that Japanese Customs Authorities change the name to JAPAN. Therefore, Porcelain and China antiques that are marked "NIPPON" were made prior to 1921 and items that are marked "JAPAN" were made after 1921. Furthermore, most Porcelain and Chinaware imports from Japan were rarely marked with the actual manufacturer's mark.* http://www.marks4antiques.com/Identify-Porcelain-Antiques.htm
