Hi Shae,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I think an attribution to Baughman is not warranted; his designs were much more square and rectilinear. A similar pair sold last August for $2000 - here's the link: https://www.ragoarts.com/auctions/2021/08/unreserved-day-1/255
If you'd like for your appraisal to include dimensions, which is customary, please forward in the comments section - at your convenience - the height, width, depth, diameter and I'll update this ASAP.
