Hi @Gnjatovic Dejan, and WELCOME to ANTIQUERS!! Your first image looks to be what I'd call a 'candy dish' and the other, I have no clue! Wait for others who will be along eventually!!!

 

Welcome! I have no idea of either piece, but I'd bet someone else does.

 

I like the second piece very much. Unfortunately I have no idea about it though.

 

The 2nd piece looks like a decanter ? Its very pretty.

 

Phenomenonally nice 1920s or 30s Bohemian bottle, that. Does it colour change?

 

My grandparents had a very similar candy or tidbit dish. That is all I can add.

 

Hello, thank you for the words of goodwill and for the answer. Hava a nice time, Dejan Gnjatovic

 

Hello, thanks for the answer. The bottle does not change nuance. Dejan

Hello, thank you for the answer, Dejan

 

If the whole top comes off the reddish one, it's not a decanter, is it?

 

the first one is a "mendiant" which means beggar but could also mean dry fruit and peanuts etc. covered by chocolate.

I'm going out on a limb with this one...Warning! The red container appears to me as being of the Moderne Style. Sometimes, I've seen it referred to as Machine Style. This style is of French origin, c.20s to 40s, and was concurrent with Art Deco.
Items of use, e.g., ice buckets, trays, barware, ashtrays, were usually chrome with straight lines, simple rounded curves, and black nobs/handles. The term is more commonly used to describe a style of architecture of that period. Many public buildings, courthouses, gas stations, bus stations, etc. abound if they have not been torn down. Most often, these buildings/items are referred to as Art Deco. BTW: If I knew how to load a pic, I'd done so.

 

Welcome, Dejan.

I agree, a candy, tidbit or bonbon dish.
There are different words in different languages for these pretty dishes.
As said above, in some parts of Europe these are associated with 'mendiants', which are a French mix of nuts, figs, raisins, often made into a chocolate candy. It is usually eaten at Christmas and was a favourite of my grandmother.
It is said the term 'mendiant' refers to the Roman Catholic mendicant (beggar) orders, whose monks wear habits in the same colours as the ingredients of the 'mendiant'.
Of course this is region specific, and in Serbia they would be used for Serbian sweets.
