What Are These?

Hi Dear Folk,

I had never seen these and would certainly not have known what they were for if I had not seen one in a friends kitchen with teaspoons in.  I commented on it and she said it had belonged to a great aunt.  They are little glass cutlery holders and also come in different styles and sizes.

When you know what they are then you start to see them.  I have never seen one in the UK so have any of my readers there seen them?  Or maybe I just passed them by because I did not know what they were.



Above you see a divided one for knives and forks with the matching spoon holder and the one with the beautiful picture is Noritake.



Very lovely to put on your table for a buffet afternoon tea or high tea.

  1. I have never seen any of these but they are lovely. Perhaps I don't move in the right circles to come across them!
