Help identifying these ceramic pieces. What are they?

[the_piedmonte_family]

I have two interesting ceramic items, but I'm not sure how to describe them.  No maker's marks on either.   I'm guessing both to be 30s vintage.

The first is a abstract vase.  Any insights as to what it might be called, or other descriptive information?

The second is a brownware jug/urn.  Same questions.

Thanks in advance to any and all they might help.
