Hi, I know that I have already asked about these, but I took some more pics and thought that maybe
someone might know more about these.

hank you very much for the links, I am researching them. The top measures 1 3/4", the bottom, 2", and they are 3 1/2" tall.

Hi, My wife and I collect Blue Willow and we agree that these look like Blue Willow. They appear to be fancy napkin rings. I am not totally positive about it, but that is what they appear to be to me. Have you checked out BlueWillowCollectio ns.com? Hope this helps.

Wouldn't the different end dimensions, .... 1 3/4" verses 2", ..... plus the length of 3 1/2" ....... be quite odd for a Napkin Ring?
Now I just can't imagine what they would be used for ..... all by their lonesome self ....... so maybe they are a "part of" another item.
Like maybe the center "column" or "pedestal" of a two-tiered snack tray, a lamp, etc.
I once bought a whole box full of: 1) 6 or 7 round sculptured green marble "columns" of about 3" diameter and 8" in length with a hole through the middle of each, and 2) some funny looking cast brass "connectors" ....... and paid $3 for the lot. I didn't have a clue what they were and neither did the person I got them from.
I figured n' figured ..... and figured out how they were all "connected" ...... and it turned out to be the up-right column for a very beautiful and expensive floor lamp.
And I was a very "happy camper" when I sold it. ;D ;D

Thanks so much for your replies. Yes I also think they look like Blue Willow, and I am looking into that.
You might be right about them being part of something else. I saw a set of Blue Willow salt and pepper shakers that look like these, only mine are missing the wood parts.
Thank you again for taking the time to reply. Have a nice evening!

Yes, I sholda coulda thought of that, ;D ;D ..... a salt and pepper mill with Blue Willow center section.
Like this one with bisque center sections that took a while for me to find,

Thanks for the link. Yes I think we have figured out the mystery of these.
They seem very old to me, and I don't know if anyone would be want them.
Okay, I'll say it......should I yard sale them? lol
Thanks again for your time.

and I don't know if anyone would be want them.
HA, there is a collector of Blue Willow or "blue n' white things" .... out there somewhere that will be wanting them ........ just because they don't have anything like them.
Put a cork in both ends and put them in a "sale" and I guarantee you someone will buy them. ;D ;D
