The underside bears the "Hand Painted Nippon" mark with the green RS monogram, associated with Reinhold Schlegelmilch, a respected exporter of high-quality porcelain. The use of "Nippon" rather than "Japan" firmly places this piece before 1921, when U.S. import laws changed country-of-origin requirements.
Designed as an open sugar bowl, this form was commonly used for sugar cubes or tongs during the period and was not always paired with a lid.
