I will look for them in antiques stores, flea markets and yard sales. I will bet most people think they are just ordinary vases.Deberahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-67223854066221930272009-02-03T13:18:00.000-05:002009-02-03T13:18:00.000-05:00Love your spooners and the doily you made.Love your spooners and the doily you made.Marilynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-4317561962479206912009-02-04T06:52:00.000-05:002009-02-04T06:52:00.000-05:00Interesting!!!

Is that a "new" name for these items? I thought they were celery servers or glasses---what is the difference, do you know? I bought a celery server at a local Estate sale--it is similar to yours but taller and unadorned.
