They’re for wasabi and soy sauce.

Sushi anyone?

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.

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.

Nice find ...I will ask my husband when he comes in as he sells antiques. I don’t do oriental stuff but he has.

They look like butter pats to me, the colorful designs seem likely too for a breakfast serving. Nice find.

My first thought was that they were bone trays, but they’re not curved.

Have you determined the artist “J.H.”?

“K.M.” Karl Muller of UPW is very desirable. ;-D

I don’t collect porcelain but have been known to worship it from time to time back in the day.
