Description from the seller
very good
Not enough from this mark to assign a specific factory (many Japanese export potteries used only “Made in Japan” with hand-painted marks).
Style resembles pieces sometimes loosely described as Japanese majolica / Satsuma-inspired export ware, but they are probably decorative export ceramics, not fine Satsuma.
The generic gold script mark strongly suggests mass-export production, likely from one of many Nagoya-area potteries.
Approximate date
Most likely: 1945–1960
(Possibly late 1930s–50s, but probably not older than that.)
Value / price (for the pair)
Comparable “Made in Japan” cherub urns and planters often sell in the $90–150 range per pair, depending on size and condition. Similar examples appear in online vintage markets in roughly that band.
Estimated value for your pair
$100–175 if excellent condition
$175–250+ if unusually large, scarce, or from a known maker
What helps value go up
Matching pair (you have that
No repairs or chips on gilt handles/rims
Larger size
My take
These are likely decorative vintage Japanese export urn vases, circa 1950s, and I’d ballpark around $100–150 for the pair retail,
