Made in Occupied Japan Teapot Tea Leaf Strainer - $15
QR Code Link to This Post
It should be noted that this is a strainer that was made in Occupied Japan not ones that are selling now that say Made in Japan
The chain is intact, the hinge works and it closes securely. It also has a small circular plate that goes under it.
The strainer is silver in color and shaped like a small teapot.
The outside of the strainer and its base are in very good condition and the silverplate shines up nicely with no pitting.
Both the strainer and the base have the words "Made in Occupied Japan" stamped on the bottom.
This little gem from Japan is a double collectible, great for tea ball collectors and collectors of items stamped with the words "Made in Occupied Japan."
History of Occupied Japan markings: ---
The unofficial occupation of Japan began when Emperor Hirohito broadcast the unconditional surrender on August 14, 1945. Officially accepted by General Douglas MacArthur on board the U.S. Battleship Missouri September 2, 1945, the new Japanese Peace Treaty was signed and became effective on April 28, 1952 restoring full sovereignty back to Japan and thus ending the Allied Occupation.
