           This is                Mid-20th century Japanese export ware                (likely                1940s–1960s                ).         
   
   
    
           After WWII, Japan produced a huge range of decorative ceramics for the U.S. and European markets. The ornate European-inspired motifs (cherubs, fruit baskets) were popular imports.
