Pair of cream coloured vases any thoughts?

Had these vases in my loft for 20+ years cant tell you anything about them with certainty. My best guess is they originated from my Grandma's family and would be dated about 1900 (thats a guess). I could just send them to the charity shop or put them on Ebay but I would like to know something about their origins and age first.
They are a mat cream colour, height 8 inches, approx diameter 4.75 inches, weight 2.5lb. Painted black on inside, cannot see any obvious issues i.e. cracks, chips. No markings.
Thanks in anticipation - my first posting so please be gentle!
Had problems uploading photos hope ok.

 

Hi and welcome!

I'm not sure what they are. Can you tell what the material is? It looks like it could be an earthenware or maybe even plaster.

 

A 4-horse chariot like that is called a quadriga, but that doesn't seem to be useful as a search term, returning mainly ancient Greek pottery.

Is the black interior also matte? Or is it glazed?

 

I think it is earthenware by the feel of it dont think plaster its too hard. The definition of the figures is quite crude my money would be on tourist ware, 1900 -1930 but not sure. Thanks for your input.

 

Yes the interior is unglazed think its best described as earthenware and fairly crude from the definition of the detail. Thank you for your input.

 

Welcome to Antiquers, @Taylerlee !

My first impression is that they were made in the 20th century some time, for decorative purposes. I do see a mold line in your photos. But I am not an expert on pottery, and am posting this partly just to bump it up to the top of the list so more eyes may look at your post.

I like these a lot.

 

Thanks for your thoughts and help in promoting my enquiry. As to the mold in honesty I would go with dirt as they were in the loft for 20+ years.
Ive only just noticed on the main photo you can see a vertical line which extends from the top of the vase and appears smudged near the bottom. This would suggest to me it was made in two halves. Think I will stick with tourist ware from the beginning of last century.

 

Just to clarify, when I mentioned "mold line" I meant the line you just mentioned, which indicates the vase was molded, not thrown. Not the other kind of mold! I think they are very attractive.

 

I feel stupid! I was unfamiliar with the term, thanks for educating me. I think they are destined for the charity shop or Ebay as my wife doesnt like them and I find the poor definition on the detail unappealing. Cheers.

 

You're welcome! We are all learning here. And please never feel stupid, at all. I could have explained more clearly to begin with!
