I picked these up yesterday at a thrift store. They were made by the union pocelain works in NY in either 1876 or 1877 according to the proof marks. The pictures on them appear to be handpainted.

I agree with null and void ... they appear to be the little dishes that the Japanese steakhouses use to serve ginger sauce, etc. Very nice find.

This manufacturer was in bussinesfrom about 1860 until about 1910. Many of their works are in museums.

Done all that and google too. Lots of high $$ oyster plates but nothing like this.

Yup, no chips or cracks so far, I understand these are considered hard porcelain. At the time UPW was the only USA manufacturer of this quality.

Hmmmm...
I know a little about porcelain.
If I come across anything, I’ll get back to you.
Good luck with your find!

At Victorian dinners, little individual salt dishes with tiny spoons were at each place setting, iirc. Not shakers.
There was a larger salt dish placed in the middle of the table, from which guests took some salt into the tiny individual salt dishes. Sitting “above the salt” meant a place of honor closer to the host, and “below the salt” was for the less important guests.
I think these are the tiny individual salts. In a set, there would be a larger dish as well, with a lid.

They are too flat to be salt cellars...they look like “mint trays” which were used once upon a time. Try www.goantiques.com for links to dealers and searches. Let us know what you discover; I collect all sorts of antiques.

Thats just it, these were made in USA, NY. They did table ware, vases and plates and saucers. I understand the museum in Brooklyn has many things on display from this munufacturer.
