A very long time ago - probably the '70s, I had a set of tiny tankards like this.
They came in a packet of 6. Each had a piece of different fruit in it, pickled in some appropriate alcohol. There were little white plastic caps which fitted on the top.  ;D

keith:
That sounds interesting, never saw anything like that round here in the 70s.

chopin-liszt:
I've been trying to remember where they came from and exactly what they were like. They were not the same bark sort of texture as yours, I think they had some pint glass style panels around the bottom half. They may well have come from a Carrefours supermarket in France.
But basically, they were novelty packaging for supermarket "posh" fruit liqueurs.
I hung onto them for years, but they were far too small for me when I did drink, and of no practical use after I gave up.  ;D
They could be used for chocolate pots.  :D
But I'd rather just sit with a spoon and the mixing bowl.  8)

keith:
Spoon and mixing bowl, not done that in years  ;D ;D
