The one on the left is a cigarette holder and obviously allowed for cigarettes to be placed in
there, but in addition they also provided the 2 pins in front of the
container used to hold a small carton of matches.
It is an interesting piece because it seems they patented it. At the time it was common that other potteries just copied each other’s ideas without too much repercussion; they probably hoped the patent would stop this.
The one on the right is a holder for a match box.
