They are far too small for ivy balls. The fern motifs date them to the pteridomania period !1850s-1890s). I'm not convinced the marks are deliberate though. It is possible they are table decoration posy vases for violets or primroses, which were sold commercially in bunches.
thank you , looking googling pulling hair out trying to find similar lol also depth of bowl seems small for flower

But not for primroses or violets. Here is a posy trough of a similar depth https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,60642.msg342010.html
