Urn (2) - Porcelain - 手描きの水差し

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,
