Assessment:

This is a decorative and visually appealing pair of Chinese Famille Rose porcelain vases, skillfully converted into lamps. The painting quality and motifs are consistent with Republic Period (early to mid-20th century) export wares. The conversion to lamps was a common practice to adapt such decorative pieces for Western interiors, and while it alters their original form as vases, it does not diminish their decorative appeal or historical context as period pieces.     这是一对装饰性强且视觉吸引力十足的中国粉彩瓷瓶，巧妙地改造成了台灯。其绘画质量和图案与民国时期（20世纪初至中期）的出口瓷器风格一致。将瓷瓶改装成台灯是当时常见的做法，旨在使这些装饰品适应西方室内装饰风格，尽管这改变了它们作为花瓶的原始形式，但并未减损其装饰魅力或作为时代作品的历史背景。

Identification Score: 95%

The identification as Chinese Famille Rose porcelain vase lamps from the early to mid-20th century is highly confident based on the distinct decorative style, form, and visible lamp conversion.     根据其独特的装饰风格、器形和可见的台灯改造，将其鉴定为20世纪初至中期的中国粉彩瓷瓶台灯，具有高度的信心。

Authenticity Score: 80%

The vases appear to be genuine Chinese porcelain from the Republic Period or slightly later, based on the painting style, palette, and overall craftsmanship. The lamp conversion is a later modification, but the vases themselves exhibit characteristics consistent with their estimated age. Without a visible reign mark or closer examination of the paste and glaze, a definitive attribution to the Republic Period versus a slightly later 20th-century decorative piece is difficult, hence the 80% score.     根据绘画风格、色彩和整体工艺，这些瓷瓶似乎是中国民国时期或稍晚的真品。台灯改造是后来的改动，但瓷瓶本身展现出与其估计年代一致的特征。由于没有可见的款识或对胎釉的更近距离检查，因此难以明确将其归为民国时期还是20世纪稍晚的装饰品，故评分为80%。
