If they were authentic, sometime in the 19th century. But I have doubts. First, items are dirty because they are made dirty that way. Some people think thirty items must be old if they look that way, but dirt is often applied to hide that items are new.
The double 喜 characters on both vases are not straight. I see that for the first time. The spiral shape floral decoration looks a bit disorderly in some place.

You show too little of the decoration for further evaluation, so this is not a good way to tell if there is something wrong with that. I would recommend to not buy these because of the above mentioned character position. It diminishes collecting value even if these are old.

Right. The closer pictures show that virtual every detail, including flowers, characters, bats on shoulder and decoration in-between and the background vine decoration are transfer printed.
