I have a couple of these from my great grandmother. She used them to hold rings and change on here bureau.
Depending on the size that could be what your were orginally for. |

I have some that are very similar. They were part of a antique punch bowl set. They were for candy and nuts :D:D:D

Hard to tell -- what size are they? I have some similar to those, about 5" across, that my mother gave me. She used them during special meals to hold relish, pickles, cranberry sauce, etc.

I can't tell from the picture, but if they are flat with just a little lip they may be coasters. At least, that's what my Gradma used some similar ones for.
|
I have many pieces of this pattern. It is also very common in my area at the flea markets. Mine came from my Mother and some pieces from the flea market. I use mine because it gives me pleasure. I wouldn't know how to date it.

They could be salt dishes, too, if they are small. Shakers didn't become popular for table use until the 20s. Can you give us an idea of the size?
|
My guess is candy or nut dishes
