Pair of Mid-Century Miniature Ceramic Bud Vases

This set consists of two miniature ceramic bud vases, likely mid-century in origin. The first vase is a slender, baluster-shaped vessel with a flared rim and an integrated footed base. It features a vibrant, opaque buttercup-yellow glaze decorated with an expressive 'spatter' or 'splatter' technique in contrasting shades of forest green and burnt orange. The second vase is shorter with a bulbous lower body and a tall, cinched neck, finished in a pale cream or sandy-yellow glaze with fine brown 'pepper' speckling throughout. Both vases feature a contrasting white glaze on the interior. The items appear to be mass-produced decorative ceramics, possibly from a Japanese or American pottery manufacturer such as McCoy or similar novelty producers of the mid-20th century. Condition-wise, the taller yellow vase shows a smooth finish with high gloss, while the smaller cream vase exhibits some surface staining or biological patina near the base on the right side. No major chips or cracks are immediately visible, though minor flea bites on the rims are common for pieces of this age and material. The craftsmanship represents standard commercial decorative ware with hand-applied glaze effects making each pattern unique.
