Bohemian, just before 1900, probably from a set of 3: a tall one on top of the cabinet, the smaller ones either side. It is called a garniture.

Alternatively if you have 2 they are called altar or chimney vases, the latter may at one time have had a matching clock...

Thin blown milk glass, decorated in cottage industry.
