<p>[QUOTE="kentworld, post: 42484, member: 35"]The cup is to hold cigarettes. Back when smoking was socially acceptable, many brides received these pretty smoking sets to put on side tables, etc. Your guest could take a cigarette and ahave the matching ashtray to use. Royal Worcester and other major British factories made a ton of these sets mid 20th century. The cigarette holders are often misidentified as posy vases as the sets often become "un-setted" over time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
