Italian Crystal Pieces

Never really knew what these were for. My wife says candle holders, I don't think so. They're only 2x1.5 inches. The opening is an inch and a half. That's a wide candle, plus it would be a little top heavy.
They are like a smokey glass. No marks on glass or boxes other than "Florence Italy" on the back of one of them, in my grandmother's hand. Any guess on age as well?
Comments welcomed.

 

Salt cellars in opaline glass, someone else can tell you about age. I thought they looked French but if that’s the original box then Florence it is.

 

These look very similar but with silver collars.

Suppose they could be Italian, but they look French to me too - perhaps they were sold in the Florentine paper box by an Italian retailer? My Mom has the same French .950 silver mounted opalascent salt as one of the pairs in s-i-s' link - suspect the auction listing maker ID is incorrect, the symbol in Emile Printemps' circa 1900 mark was a small tree over a star - the maker of Mom's salt was Ernest Prost, whose symbol in his 1923-63 mark was a star over gaiters...

Fleur de lis pattern on the boxes. Maybe bought in Florence but made in France? If it's not sacrilegious to sell French glass in Italy!

 

The boxes are most likely from Florence, as his Grandmother noted, appearing to be covered in a typical Florentine paper, the motif 'il giglio' rather than 'fleur de lis' - they seem well fitted to the salts, which certainly could have been imported from France without boxes...
