    Not sure if I have seen this pattern before. But the lids are weird, how do they come off? :eek:

    These may be pressure caps (my non-technical term). If you place your palm on the top and give a slight twist, those notches may find a groove to remove.
    Sorry, no help on pattern, but from avocado green color, these suggest 1970's to me.

    You're very welcome. Did the lids pop off (if you've had a chance to try yet)?

    Push up (gently but firmly) from around the base of the lid.

    Do they rotate in place? You would not want the cap of salt/pepper shaker to be attached in a way that it might pop off while you were shaking it, so my inclination is to think they unscrew, maybe while pulling upward at the same time?

    That's weird, I replied a while ago but now the post is gone. The lids pop off by lifting underneath.

    Tolja!

    My parents had a corset-shaped, clear glass pair with that top. :)
