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.

Yes they are. So now my question what is something like that worth if  you don't mind me asking

Your best bet weould be to go to "a certain well-known auction site", plug in the pattern and trawl past auctions to see what they sold for in the past.
We don't really discuss values here, they're far too contentious.
Something is worth what somebody is willing to pay for it, in that place and at that time only. :)
