Vintage copper salt and pepper pots, Made in Occupied Japan

MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN  - - - "TODAY'S HOTTEST COLLECTIBLES"

"Occupied Japan was printed on pottery, porcelain, toys, and other goods made during the American
 occupation of Japan after World War II ( from 1947 to 1952). Collectors now search for these pieces.
 The items were made for export to aid Japan's dying economy.

During the year after WWII, Japanese manufactures were banned from
 exporting although American authorities occupying controlled territories
 permitted the sale of items "Made in Occupied Japan" that were regulated
 through the years 1946 and 1947.  "

Very decorative, and fantastic patina. These beauties weigh 156g and 151g. Measure 80mm high

and circumference 19cm.  There are some dings and dents, but all adds to their charm.

Have not been cleaned...sort of smell like gunpowder inside.
