Toy Tea Set Made in Japan No. 48-4722
My mom has a lovely toy tea set from Japan. The bottom is marked with the word JAPAN in red with a red crane design marking over it (see photo). I was wondering if anyone here was familiar with this stamp or would know the manufacturer of it.
We are thinking it is from the 1930's but could not find much information online about it.
