COPY - Pair of Victorian Solid Sterling Silver Decorative Flower Urn

These 2 Stunning decorative Victorian pieces are marked with a lion, "English Design" and 1840. I have tried and tried to find anything similar online to no avail. They are much larger than all the chalis and goblets that come up. Ive sent pics to several "antique experts" and none have been able to tell me anything definitively, only that they are rare and they are not sure what their purpose would be. :/ Please feel free to message me with your ideas or knowledge. They stand at just under 21 inches tall. The tops are 5 inches across, and the bases are 9 inches across. They weight 3 pounds and 3.6 ounces each.
