They look like Nippon individual salts or nut dishes. If you search in the Nippon category, you will probably find some very similar.
They most likely were part of a set, with one large dish or bowl, and six or eight of the small ones. OR they could have come with a full set of dishes.

Yes, individual nut dishes, or salt cellars, as part of a cerlery set.. Those do not appear to be Nippon...perhaps Limoges, or Bavaria.

Wow!How lucky you are to have these great little salt dips, also referred to as salt cellars or salt dishes; I used to collect them when I was in college-No markings on any of them?? They appear to possibly be handpainted, which there is separate category under POTTERY & GLASS but they appear to look possibly like blanks, which were sold early 1900's for home handpainters to paint--is a great art and is still being done,BUT They are antiques, quite old it looks, perhaps Limoges?? Almost Nippon, but without markings, would be hard to decipher!Very nice find!
