They were made to sit on a dining table where guests could reach for a pinch of the seasoning if they needed to. These are made in a style that suggests that they were produced in or near the town of Caltagirone on the island of Sicily. As for age it is difficult to determine, especially using only photos to study them. In part this is due to the fact that the pottery making techniques are often unchanged over time but I would guess late 19th, early 20th century.</font></font></p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
