These were given to me by my grandmother, many years ago. Does anyone know anything about them and the Pagoda China mark? Dates? Made in Japan? Hand-painted? Thank you in advance.

Between 1921 and 1941, pieces destined for the US export market were required to be marked ‘Japan’ or ‘Made in Japan’. Pre-1926 pieces will feature a hand-painted mark with later pieces bearing marks made by stencil.
the majoraty of the pieces were made between 1932-1951 i believe ,
can,t cope with the lack of consinstency because it looks like an contradictio in termis , the made in japan is out and theoraticcaly we are commated to the follow up of the TARIFF ACT, this is all i got in the sampling
