What are these used for, Need a bit of culture I think

[ironlord1963]

    O.k you folks have givin me a bit of culture boost before, I know what a brandy warmer is, A wager cup, and let us not forget the bathtub Actuator  (I think).   Well came across these today, thought toothpick holder, but why a pair, and trying to write the title or even do a search for them is hard.  Then the answer came to me, if I need some culture I come here  .     These are 3 1/2" Tall, kinda shaped like a toothpick holder made of Porcelain, no signs they had or even made for lids, so that rules out Salt and pepper shakers,  I know it not as good as most of the "what is it"  stuff but thought someone might know something I don't

Royal Winton made what they called a "Rosebud Vase". It measured 3 1/2" tall and may be what those are. You can see one (different style from yours) here:  http://parcels-of-time.com/RoyalWinton.html

Cool that was quick winffup thanks,  This must be what they are, but being only 3 1/2" tall sure makes for a small vase.  I did notice many items on ebay with the words Royal Winton Grimwades, many different items.  I think that Grimwades is a line of products, but working on that now.  Once again thanks and that is a good link too.

Sure enough these are considered Rose Bud vases, all over the net, little small vases.  Thanks too much more culture they will kick me out of the bohemian Club
