My mother had a few of these in the 50s, she used them as face powder containers and for trinkets/jewellery etc on her dressing table. Obviously they can be used as a lidded pot or two separate unlidded pots - but you know that aready! ; As a child I used to find them fascinating how the edges interlocked and sat firmly in place.  D  Emmi

They are still made I think... I tend to see a large quantity of them around, in charity shops and in gift shops... possibly made in the Far East for the giftware trade... some of them are very pretty.
