Any idea what this item is please? It has Chinese wiring on the bottom. The cup part fits over the top of the base, like a lid.

I think toothpicks too, as soon as I saw it. I can't think that they have much use for butter in China, so why would they decorate a butter ball with Chinese characters?

It's a toothpick holder
