Germany made painted with some gilding wear. No visible damage. Just a pin hole from manufacturing on the backs of the dame’s dress. Quite a nice pair. Need a better cleaning.

This vases style is called a "spill vase" although you could use them for flowers as well. Here's the online definition:
" Spill vases were small, usually porcelain, receptacles, to hold splinters or paper tapers that were lit from a hearth fire to transfer a flame to light a lantern or lamp. Most were figurines and sat on a fireplace mantel. The splinters were called "spills" and were used until matches were invented after the turn of the 20th century.
