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,
