Featured Guys any idea what these two ceramic are?

Saw these in an auction website. any idea about the country of origin or their use

 

Do you have anything else, marks etc? On first blush I'd say modern decorator pieces.

 

Nope say it slowly. just saw it one a local auction website. was fascinated by the piece. and wanted to know a bit about it. British didnt make such pieces right? or was it a modern replica? but the finishes seems to be quite perfect? what do youll think?

 

It hard to guess from just a single photo and someone may have an idea but to my eye they look made for decorator pieces. The kind that would be pricey in a designer showroom. That's just a guess though.

Maybe from somewhere like Wong Lee.

They do appear to be modern decorative pieces. The crazing on the top one usually means China as a source (IME.)

Agree with SIS and Debora. The color and crazing are the giveaways on the first item. The color is a turquoise that the Chinese have really perfected and the crazing is too even to be accidental. On the second one take a close look at the flowers. They are very typical of Chinese floral depictions. Lovely items with no particular use except to look pretty. Just not old.
