Founded in 1850 by Abe Mayer, UCAGCO (United China & Glass Company) became one of America’s premier importers of fine Japanese ceramics. Following World War II, UCAGCO was instrumental in reintroducing Japanese porcelain to the U.S. market, making pieces like this a wonderful reminder of the craftsmanship that defined the era. Based on the backstamp, this dish dates to approximately 1953–1956.
