Small hand china painted handled nappy

Porcelain : Japanese

 

This is a small china or porcelain handled nappy. On the bottom it has a mark that is an ACI inside an elongated diamond and the words MADE IN JAPAN beneath that all in red. Then in a gold paint that was also used on the handle and the trim is 1957 Mi. I believe that this was china painted in 1957 by someone with the initials Mi. As I am typing this I notice that there is a chip on the edge of the rim that was painted over in the gold trim. I believe that the painter chipped this herself when she was makeing this. She did lovely work with her yellow rosed that go around the inside of the nappy. It is hard to china paint on inside curving pieces. I have marked this item down because of the chip that I have found. Happy Collecting!!!!!
