My guess was they are used as a vase for small flowers, perhaps around a plateau or centerpiece. They do hold water, no leaks at seams.

What are these London 1894 Pieces for?
What are these London 1894 Pieces for?
I recently purchased these matching heavily chased silver pieces because of the wonderful chasing or repousse. They are 1.5 inches (4 cm) tall and 7.25 inches (18.5 cm ) long at the ends and just under 1.5 inches deep. They weigh about 4.5 ounces each, and both are marked on the bottom "Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company 112 Regent Street." Punch marks are for London, sterling, 1894, with one having maker mark W.C for William Comyns and one having WC/JL for William Gibson and John Longman. Likely Comyns supplied for the Goldsmiths Company.

I think they could be for fish-bones, put alongside of a dish. In Germany that exists in a similar shape in porcelaine.
