These were found by my Husband in a river. Not sure if the small copper pot has any relation to them... any clue on what they are?

They look to me like ashtrays.

Some type of Hindu religious offering? Like these lamps that were found in a river http://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/03/18/mud-gods-discoveries-3/ :

x 2 ash trays the other maybe a spittoon
I think the Hindu connection is right on (good one ElWorm!). They look very much like the diya (lamps) used for Diwali (not that I know what that celebration is about). But google Diwali diya and you see the same shape, and some with the same ancient swastika.

I guess if you try you can really learn something new everyday! Good thing I a) quit smoking over 2 years ago and b) I didn't find them, or they'd have been embarrassingly desecrated cause I never heard of such a thing...
