A little bit of history

I was recently given these two old jars that came from my gran's house. I can't help but wonder what is the history of these two objects. I believe that she has kept them for many years and they must have been important to her as they stayed even when she drastically downsized everything for her last house. Were they from her first marriage? Her mothers? Or just something that she always loved?

Can I find a use for them without adding more clutter to my home?!
