Dating the "CHINA" Mark:
U.S. Import Laws (1890s–1920s): Under the McKinley Tariff Act of 1890 and subsequent US laws, foreign items imported into the United States were required to be stamped with their country of origin. This led to English-language stamps like "CHINA" appearing on export pieces starting around the late 1890s.
