This is a decorative Kutani style porcelain lidded bowl with an intricate floral and butterfly design from the mid-20th century.

• The Japanese characters on the bottom that are often associated with Kutani porcelain.
• When translated the middle and bottom characters and they look to say "Fire Mountain".

That should be the name of the decorating shop, retailer, or exporter.

 

The marks were used around the 1950s/1960s.
