I am very pleased that you are so interested in your objects. Interest is the basis for any good collection and especially for a better understanding of the past. If I may be so bold, here is some friendly advice: I think you find that you'll learn more by reading some good books than by just posting every piece online without without knowing more precisely what you are looking for and what you need help with. A starting point for famille rose could be George C. Williamsons "Book of Famille Rose" from 1970 (978-0804808804).
That said, here is my initial assesment for your pair of vases: A pair of liddet vases with a decoration of cartouches with flowers and people (displaying the story of Princess Wen Cheng of Tang, perhaps?) set against a dove-blue ground. The style mimics losely late Qing export porcelain from the 19th century with famille rose decoration. But you cant really apply color schemes like famille rose or famille verte here. Since, in my eyes, neither colour scheme nor execution of design live up to the standard. Might easily be a modern fantasy piece from the late 20th century. But this is just an educated guess and a picture from the underside (foot) and better resolution images in general might help to clarify things.
Stay curious and all the best
