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 jicama.
Hope it helps.
Thanks @Thanks for the Crepes and @cta
Oaxacan Mexican culture uses these bowl types for making Stone Soup -- a fish stew that they add 800 degree F stone into the soup to help finish the stew. Make sense with the gourds. So nothing would crack.
Maybe with fall approaching us in the Midwest USA. Sounds like a idea.
