You have them sitting correctly !! I remembered these from the 60`s and 70`s but didn`t remember if there was an actual name for them or other uses !! I posted the pic on my other forum and the link is above so you can read the replies !! In the 60`s and 70`s the larger ones were used with floating candles like tea lights !! The smaller one just as a candy dish !! Its just a different look for an everyday item !!
