[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 200586, member: 136"]My photos are not very good, but they'll have to do for now. This little set belonged to my great aunt and was given to me when she died in the 1970's.

[ATTACH=full]57346[/ATTACH] [SIZE=3][B]top 2 pieces are 2 1/2" tall; lidded container is 1" tall w/o lid, & 3 1/2" in diameter[/B][/SIZE] I've always assumed it was depression era glass, but I've never been quite sure of the intended use for all the pieces. (Sugar, creamer, and...?) The pattern, too, seems a bit unusual: the design almost makes the pieces look like little drums, and whatever it is on the top of the covered container looks oddly like a pickle! [ATTACH=full]57347[/ATTACH] All of the design is raised and feels quite rough on the surface. The bottoms of all 3 containers have raised "stripes" across them: 6 on the lidded one, 5 each on the other two. [ATTACH=full]57348[/ATTACH] Thanks for any insight![/QUOTE]
