I would appreciate any professional input you have.

    May be barking up the wrong tree but I would call them Middle Eastern.

    Welcome to the forum, Chuck
    They are Persian/Iranian water or wine ewers. They are very attractive, but the decoration dates from the period when artistry was not as important as in the heyday of Persian crafts. That would date them to late 19th- early 20th century.
    Absolutely, utensils like these have no religion.:playful: The people who made and used these could have been Zoroastrian, Jewish, Christian, or one of the many other faiths in Iran.

    Awesome, thank you guys for the input. What would you guess to be a rough value, 100 to 200 or less?

    Sorry, I have no idea, I know more about cultures than about prices. It also depends on where you are. You could search the web for comparable pieces.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Welcome to Antiquers, @Chuck Mason ! We don't often give guesses on monetary values here, although it has happened. From what others have said I'd think these are mostly decorative and somebody might buy for that purpose. Looking in eBay Sold items could help.
