B. Shackman Cup of Knowledge Green Plain
From Mystic Tea Room
The Plain Green B. Shackman Cup of Knowledge was imported to the United States from Japan by the B. Shackmancompany as a knock-off or unauthorized copy of one of the Aynsley pottery's Cup of Knowledge sets, specifically the mint green Cup of Knowledge that was made in England. It was exported to the USA but was manufactured by the same (as yet unidentified) Japanese pottery that manufactured the Fairylite Foreign marked Japanese Cup of Knowledge that was exported to England, as well as the Unmarked Japanese Cup of Knowledge that came with a different instruction booklet.
If the characteristic back stickers, box, or instruction booklet are separated from the B. Shackman Cup of Knowledge, it becomes, by default, an example of the Unmarked Green Cup of Knowledge that was made in Japan.
