No chips, no cracks or crazing on this antique charger. Nippon is generally referred to as the years between 1891 and 1920, when imported products were first required to carry the name of the country of origin. Nippon is the Japanese word for Japan. After 1920 the requirement would be changed to require the country name be in English words
