they are probably 75 years old at least, not so interested in the maker as what kind of dishes they are. what would be served in them?

but no idea what these might have been used for. fancy settings that had a specific thing for every food...

and serving bowls ?


✌🏻

and those holes in the "handles"

It’s most likely for a single course of something light ... a consommé ?
At one time it was a course ..

Just guessing

✌🏻

on edit: hard to tell the size/depth from photo

see my update

such a strange set, didn’t know celery was so .... what ?
It needs its own dish
🤔

✌🏻

I recently saw some china berry bowls on Etsy and I'm pretty sure that's what they are. They are probably worth about $20 per bowl.

see update below

Looks like Nippon ware.

big one is probably for celery! see links in my update

The uses and terms are basically interchangeable. My mom collected salts (much to my dismay), and I've been selling pottery for over thirty years.

celery!

On edit: nope, berries.

I think it might be a celery dish and salt trays

than 3 inches. From the photo, looks more like a berry bowl ser. I just sold 3 berry sets and 5 celery dishes at my estate sales.

it is a third hand photo from somebody my sister knows, but from those listings on etsy and ebay I am about 90% convinced.

Can't begin to guess at the smaller bowl.

Not exactly related, but about five years ago I decided to promote my wedding china (was married in 1980) to being my every day china. While I'd used it any number of times over the years, I'm faced with the fact that I really have no one to inherit it. Why let it sit languished in a closet of some kind?

I'm now divorced, alas, and have always treasured my wedding china. It is truly wonderful to use it every day. I'm very aware that young people today have pretty much zero interest in things like the wedding china of their elders. So I'll put it to use, and if it simply gets thrown away when I'm gone, so be it. It will meanwhile have spent a decent amount of time being used every day.

German China, circa 1880-1910 Mid to low quality, better stuff is usually marked.
