Even I recognise a nice bit of what is called "Carnival Glass". American, I believe.
There are folk here who will be able to help you identify your vases - which are not for funerary purposes. I'm afraid this isn't my area. Just have a little patience and the right person will come along, I'm sure.
Not everybody comes here every day.  :)

It is what carnival collectors call a funeral vase; the base has to be at least 5 in. Height is irrelevant. The pattern might be Fenton Rustic

I stand corrected! Thanks. :-*

I thought "funerary vases" were more like ginger jars - a lidded pot for remains.
I'd have called this a spill container! :-[

I suspect is more to do with flowers than ashes. At 21 in it might be better for pokers than spills LOL

Long spills?
Certainly impressive pieces, and lovely to have a pair.
