Anyone know what these are? Used for? Circa ?
The item on the right is upside down.
I think they were my grandmothers. She was alive from 1915-1990 [Linked Image]

Just pretty knickknacks. From the style I’d say late 60s early 70s.

As long as the women like them they don't have to have a purpose.

Anyone heard of depression glass? My grandmother, God rest her soul, always told us about the glassware that was sold during the great depression. Then she would feed us rabbit and tell us it was chicken for a laugh. Not sure what to believe.

I remember growing up there was an oatmeal that had glassware inside the round box. If I remember there were like small glasses, cups, ice cream dishes and the such. There was also a snuff that came in a glass that could be used after the snuff was used.
My grandmother has some of the same as pictured above. Never saw them used for anything but sitting on a shelf.

We just completed going through Mom’s glassware. We decided to keep a few that had good colors. None of it was worth anything.
