Thank you all for your help. We suspected it was a tray for sugar cubes, but we also didn't know when sugar cubes came into existence, so we weren't sure. Linda--Grandma initialed and dated some of the pieces--she painted them in 1919. She spent an extra year in high school, studying music and china painting, before she could go to college (the college wouldn't accept her until she was 18). She painted 20 place settings of china with her family coat of arms--bouillon cups, asparagus plates, soup tureens, ramekins--just about every piece of china you can think of. This chocolate set is in the same colors as the china, but only the cups and saucers are by the same manufacturer. In addition, she did lots of little pieces, like salt and pepper shakers, a beautiful blue and gold demitasse set and this chocolate set. The tray has no mark at all. The cups and saucers have Vignaud Limoges. The pitcher has an almost completely worn away mark--it's not Limoges, I don't think, but what it is isn't clear. It's an artist's palette, intersecting a circle with a script capital L (at least I think it's an L). Underneath, there is a word, but most of the letters have partly worn off. I think there are six or seven letters. The last letter is probably K.

Are the cup and saucer the same pattern? Is there a mark on the cup? It's very very pretty....something says to me Chinese... And bone china is English....those pieces sure look Chinese or Japanese and like high fired porcelain, not bone china. Maybe you can find the mark on the site below.

Probably wrong but when I was looking for more pieces of my museum store set the information I found was that the handles were made by pressing a form against the "mother" material which was in rolled sheets rather than using a molded pattern. This gave the angular shape although your look a little more rounded but that could be caused by differing glazes.
