They are so intrically carved!
The name for these is Bitong, brush pot!

i tried to carve bamboo once and it was very difficult - very different from wood!

Hate to crush your dreams, but please compare the examples in the comments with yours. Theirs are extremely fine in terms of carving, composition, and finished. Yours are not. Make sure to lower your expectations.
