    My Aunt gave this to me years ago. Always been curious about what it was designed to serve. Cake, ice cream, fruit...just not sure. Not even sure all these pieces go together.

    I added a couple of photos. On the bottom of each piece is a triangle with the letter C in the middle.

      They are Sherbets aka ice cream. I believe it is depression glass, pretty sure it is. If I have time I will look up the pattern.

      Thanks. Do you think they all go together? The center piece has some etching on it but the plate and bowls do not.

      It is hard for me to see the Etched pattern clearly but I am thinking it is the Wildflower pattern by Cambridge Glass. The pattern was made from 1940-1958 and is actually Elegant glass as opposed to depression glass. The curved sided dish with handles in a Bon Bon dish and those are usually Elegant glass.
      The plate I am not sure about but if the etched pattern is the same it would be the same pattern.

      The plate and the bowls have no pattern on them.
