Brass vase?

Possible artillery shell trench arts that are missing the base plugs?

They could be spittoons where something is missing. These spittoons are common in areas where betel chewing was common.
See an example from a recent German auction.
This would mean that you have presented them upside down.

Spittoons almost always have a trumpet like opening, whereas the opening on these (on the larger side) is the exact opposite.

........and they look Moro made, possibly Maranao or Maguindanao? They worked with brass and bronze a lot.
