    You don't give a size.
    Toothpicks?
    Individual nut dishes.

    Sometimes "sterling" is hidden in the pattern. Check around the edges of the flowers.

    I wouldn't call them "bowls" with all the holes (fancy word "reticulation").

    Here's another request for dimensions. Please?

    Maybe they originally had colored glass inserts?

    Depending on size, my first thought was nut cups.

    Would the pots be salts missing their glass liners haven't seen anything that makes me think differently.

    They could be. 4 inches wide does seem excessive for a salt, though.

    Though they look very eye catching fancy on a table very look at me as you can’t miss the shine off them.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I hope you figure out what they are for sure.
