The urns feature the classic campana (bell-cup) silhouette with vertical gadroon ribbing on the body, scrolled double handles, and a spreading circular foot that transitions to the pedestal base. Each square plinth is molded with a raised foliate rosette cartouche on the face panel — a neoclassical ornamental detail executed with crisp relief.

The last image reveals the pedestal construction: hollow ceramic with an internal concrete or aggregate-filled base for ballast and stability — consistent with quality architectural garden ceramics intended for outdoor use. The glaze shows expected weathering variation, adding character.

The form draws directly from 18th- and 19th-century English and Continental garden urn traditions — Minton, Doulton, and later producers all worked in this vocabulary. This pair reads as mid-to-late 20th century production, likely Italian or American, in the architectural garden ceramic tradition.

Exceptional scale at approximately 3.5 feet overall height. Suited for flanking an entrance, lining a terrace, or as indoor statement pieces.
