I have always called these big orange and big blue they were found by my brother in Warren co I was very happy to acquire them is the orange one a Pickwick or Adena maybe? I guess the blue one is knife I'm thinking they would be woodland era any thoughts?I didn't mean to include the statue pics someone showed me that yesterday

Very nice, where were they found, state (Warren co, Ohio)?
"Blue" certainly looks like some Ohio Coshocton Upper mercer blue chert and that one does have a roughly Adena style beavertail base...and the orange one could be a Pickwick as well.
Can you get some pics that are in direct sunlight and true to color?

Still very nice colors...that does look like our Coshocton chert, but likely isn't, a bit more blue in it than ours.
I really don't think the ceramic is ancient.
Maybe Joshua will comment on that, he's seen many new and old.
