Unusual cones/what are they?

[Lucky7]

Cleaning out my Mom’s house these days. Have been running into things that I’ve never seen. Any idea what this set of cones are for?

Thanks for any info.

A reverse image search comes up as a spice set. Salt, peper, and sugar.

Well I’ll be darned. Thanks!

Couldn’t get the bottoms off with gentle force so assumed they were fixed in place. Now that I know what they are, a quick hot water soak and they work fine.

Good thing. Filling them up one grain at a time through the top would have been torturous 😀.

Whew. My mind went right to the Ikea commercial with the little boy playing with the stainless steel rocket ship he found in his mothers bedside table.

Wow! Did you see the price?

I did. I figured it was a case of "they're discontinued so they must be valuable" rather than they are actually desirable.

If they'd have been bigger, I was going to guess Madonna's bra from the 80's.
