    One Grandma was an avid ABP fan and passed these on. I have been trying to figure out their use. They are 3 1/2" high and 2 3/4" in top diameter. They are marked Fry in the base of the cup but I couldn't get a picture. Thanks so much for your help. Patd

    Thanks Pat. I would think so too but they are so small.

    Maybe just big enough for a palate cleanser between courses? (as opposed to a dessert...)

    Thanks Bronwen. It is easy when you have a beautiful thing to photograph.
    And a BIG Thanks to Pat for finding the pattern name. I didn't think that would ever happen. Actually, Grandma was a Sunbeam in everyone's life.
