Stoneware soliflore vases

Very beautiful set of 5 vases or soliflores, all slightly different but, without a doubt, from the same ceramist and which, displayed in a collection, will have the most beautiful effect. This is why I am offering them together initially (i will offer them individually within a few days in my store here). You can also imagine using them as candle holders or displaying them upside down! They are made of turned stoneware with a very decorative and original spiral enamelling (which was probably made with the vase moving on the potter's wheel). The colors and shapes are very soft, very cozy and perfectly matched. At first glance, they seemed rather recent to me, even commercial, but the person from whom I found them told me that she received them from her grandfather, so they could date from the 50s to the 80s. When we look at them from up close, we see some original "defects", runs on the enamelling, some tool marks on the narrow necks of the small vases, which would go in the direction of small-scale artisanal production. They come from belgium. Surprisingly, they are not signed, and I tried everything to discover the ceramist who created them by looking for similar vases in particular, but I found absolutely nothing resembling! If you have any information on these vases, I will be very happy if you contact me; ) they measure between 16 cm and 18.5 cm in height with diameters between 9 cm and 4.5 cm at the high rim. They are all in very good condition, no cracks, no visible chips, not even a chip, the only mark that is not original is a small chip under the base of one of the small vases.
