<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4504320, member: 7360"]Ha, thanks for trying! Actually I was very ambiguous, I think underneath I was seeking approval for adding more clutter to my home! But the discussion has been fruitful, I now think they are cups which wouldn't be as useful as canisters, and have seen examples of similar items. I realise now that, not being antiques, people on this antiques site were holding them to a higher standard than modern bits of china. I think they are probaby 1980's so not quite vintage, but I was wondering if they could become more desirable as they age; it's obvious that not everyone likes them, so maybe not. The cups/canisters question may be the clincher. </p><p>I am really grateful for people taking the time to comment on this, if I ask my husband's opinion it is invariably "Don't buy anything more!"[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
