COULD ANYBODY HELP IN IDENTIFYING THESE VASES.

Hi Alaneb, I am not sure what the mark is, I could not find it in my books but judging by the colors and decoration this looks like late 20th century in my opinion, the bottom foot looks like someone added the dirt to try to make it look older than it is.

Thanks for your input, the vases have been in the family for more than 75 years . They were in my late mums possession and I think have been passed down from her grandmother before that I?m not sure. Does that give you anymore clues??? Thanks

I think your grandma got them new, or you been told a story, the colors are modern colors.
