Could they be part of a ladies dressing table set? My mother had one belonging to my Nan...from memory one was a trinket holder and one had talc in with a big fluffy powder puff, hence the rounded lid. They usually had a tray, a ring holder and sometimes and candle holder to complete the set.

It may be depression ware. At least that is what it looks like to me. Mom had larger dishes cut just like these that we used everyday and she put nuts, mints, cranberry sauce (at Thanksgiving) and other food stuff.
