Are they glass or plastic?
I have never seen them in glass...but I have a collection of old brass miniature candle sticks....of the size that hold the larger birthday candles...or chanukah candles.
Not sure they have a use....they are just cute!

They're glass and the color seems to be IN the glass not applied.

They are better than cute...
Is there a pontil on the bottom?
They could be "whimsies" things made not in the production line by a glass blower....or they could be Venetian glass.
what size candle would they hold? Is the inside of the striped part hollow? they also could be meant for a doll house.
Whatever...I would bet a large amount of money there is not another pair like that out there....don't be putting a $5 price tag on them until you find out more.
I would send the pictures to the site linked below and see what she says....and click on the whimsies link to the left on the main page.

ummmm, too late Oscar - sold. No, not for $5 but $25 - still probably less than you'll think is right! Hadn't checked for a pointil but they are hollow. The only candles that fit are the small old fashioned b'day candles. The lady that bough them was thrilled, thought they were so cute..... fine - she can dust them!
