I was thinking for presentation you would be slicing things like peaches and nectarines so they would drip. Nobody’s serving up whole large stone fruit in a fancy bowl for a meal.
These things are maybe 5 or 6 inches in diameter. As an artist, I wouldn’t definitely not pick this for a a still life of fruit in a bowl since you’d be lucky to get three pieces of uncut fruit in it. And these are definitely display pieces, not storage so I can’t picture someone putting a whole peaches or nectarines in one of these for presentation.
Letting water sit on soft fruit will speed up the process of them getting mushy and gross. So you wash them, put them in these, and the air circulates to help dry them off and they keep a little longer. I wouldn’t try these with blueberries, but it looks like they’d work for strawberries, cherries, small apricots, etc. the lack of a hole in the bottom is probably because they’re not for actively straining things. The size is probably about right for a single pint.
But they would drip all out the holes. Nobody wants that. It’s stealing their precious bodily fluids.
If your uncut vegetables drip, they need to be thrown out.

I think it’s more like the classical still live with different fruit piled up in a bowl.
