“Chequers Collection stoneware from Japan signifies durable, often rustic, dishware popular in the mid-20th century, marked by its sturdy quality, simple designs, reflecting Japan's vast pottery heritage, particularly post-WWII production for export, though specific brand history is scarce, focusing more on general Japanese stoneware traditions and export marks like "Made in Japan.”

“Japanese Stoneware: Japan boasts an ancient pottery history, from Jōmon (16,000 years ago) to sophisticated Sue ware (5th Century). Stoneware, fired at high temperatures for strength, became a staple for everyday use.
Post-War Boom: Following WWII, Japan became a major exporter of affordable, quality ceramics, with many items marked "Made in Japan" (post-1945) or "Occupied Japan" (1945-1952).
Chequers Collection: This line likely falls into the post-war era (1950s-70s), focusing on functional, sturdy stoneware.”
