Key Points

Material and Finish:

Design

The colorful floral motifs, featuring yellow, red, and blue flowers, reflect a traditional, rustic aesthetic. This style is often associated with folk art or regional crafts. Their shapes are distinctive and might indicate they are decorative rather than functional (though they could still serve as vases for dried or small flowers).

Origin:

These are Portuguese ceramic pieces, as Portugal is known for its decorative pottery. Hand-painted ceramics, especially those with floral themes, are popular in regions like Coimbra.
