Vaselike forms which are often made of glass but sometimes made of wood or bone and intended to hold spills, small pieces of wood or twisted paper used to light a fire. They resemble celery glasses in form although they were not intended for use on the dining table, but rather near a fireplace, oil lamp, or similar lighting device. For similar vaselike forms typically made of glass and used on the dining table for serving celery, use "celery glasses." For vaselike forms with a scalloped rim and used on the dining table for holding spoons, use "spoon holders."
