These are from a fondue set; remember them?  Anyone holding dinner parties in the 60s or 70s will.  These ramekins would hang in a set of six from brackets around the outside of a thin metal frame that had a matching pan sitting above a flame, usually a candle, similar to the one shown above.  


Rameking Romance tip; Gentlemen who wish to improve their chances with the ladies would be well advised to resurrect a fondue set.  Not the cheese dip that will have them run a mile, but with melted chocolate.  If you have got her to your place, she is already interested.  Get her to dip strawberries into hot melted chocolate and you on a winner.  Ladies love a man that cooks, and they love chocolate even more.  Team it with fruit, preferably strawberries, and they think it is healthy.  In ladies, the chocoholic gene is far more developed and responsive than in gentlemen.
