This little gizmo is china, about 4 inches tall and 3 inches square. I have no idea what it is and I'm curious. I found it in a dollar bin of a junk store and I intend to make something cool from it for The Monet Kitchen (to which I shall return later this month). 
The top and bottom parts are held together by a screw - which is longer than it needs to be but it looks old. I think the top and bottom parts may have had something in between them which has been broken.
They are both hollow. At first I thought the whole thing might have been a cover for something, but the bottom of the piece is rough and it isn't shaped like something that would be a cover. So I don't think that's it.
Any ideas? Does it look like anything you've ever seen?

Could it be the base of a lamp?
It's tiny. Only 3 inches square. I don't think it could have supported a lamp.
Butter press thingy? Or some kind of food press? With the hole for draining?
I don't think so either, but thought I'd try.
A candle holder, then?
