Those are gorgeous canisters. If I could help you out, I would - and buy some myself in the process!

There are programs related to google where you put in a picture and it tells you what the thing is and where you can get it. It is not 100% accurate, but I have been amazed by it (have it on my phone). I have taken pictures of bugs, fruit, pottery, electronics, shoes, buildings, statues, and famous artwork. It finds the thing about 80% of the time it seems. It is wrong maybe 10% of those times.

I tried google's search by image on this picture (the one where you upload the picture) but didn't find anything.

Where did this picture come from? Is it a home improvement magazine? a display? Please post where you found this and we just may be able to break the code on it for you.

I found these canisters in a model home for Richmond American Homes. I even tried calling their corporate office but no one seems to remember where they bought them.

There are no other markings on or inside of the canisters.

I have tried the Google goggles but have had no luck.

How about calling an interior decorator/home stager near that model home? Perhaps they can guide you.

Such an observant, loving husband.....do you have a single brother? LOL

What is the chance that they are one of a kind?

The canisters themselves are an unusual shape, and the bird design looks carved out of the surface before glazing. Perhaps you could ask yourselves what it is about these objects that appeal to you, then do a google image search on those terms as a route to identifying something else that you would like. Also, you might try doing text searches on pinterest (which I have never done, but might work).
