    We found this in a box and we’re not sure what they are. They were with other little trinkets. Any ideas? Google picture says it’s either a shoehorn which is clearly not or Chopstick holders but I don’t think it’s correct either

    Welcome, Dinew! Can we see them from other angles and get dimensions please?

    What is you impression of the material of which they are made? Stone?

    Hi thanks for the help. They clink like glass so I was thinking porcelain. They are 2” tall and 1” at the widest part of triangle. I’ll upload more pics.

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    I think chopstick rests is pretty savvy for google.

    Mostly because that was my guess before reading your post. :joyful:

    Well, I don't know for certain, that's just what I thought when I saw them. ;)
