Paul, looks very similar to what in Spain we call 'Cuencos de Calabaza', Google told me that these are gourd bowls in english. Found a couple of links on how to make them.

I know that you say these are stone, but looking at your photo (there are some 'ribs' and what it looks like the base of the stem) I would dare to say that they are dried calabaza or jicara.

 

Hope it helps.
