Clear Dish Trinket or Side Dishes ID Help
« on: March 17, 2021, 01:32:28 PM »
Hello, I have a set of 5 or so of each of these items. I'm unsure if they're meant for display or if they would be used some way for dining. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

My guess is that they would originally have formed a complete circle and used to hold nibbles of some sort.  May be with something else in the centre, and possibly on a base, pretty much like a "lazy Susan".

I agree with t'other Anne, it looks like one part of an hors d'oeuvres set. I have one somewhere which has four shaped pieces similar to yours and a round bowl that sits in the centre of them.  Some of them also had a round glass tray that the whole thing sat on, but which could also be used separately if needed.
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

Thank you both! Just looked online and that does appear to be what they are :) Thank you - I couldn't work them out!
