Pls can anyone tell me what this ornament is?

[haveyourcakeandeatit]

My auntie has given me this rather strange ornament, she said it's a flower vase but honestly I don't know what on earth to do with it.

I do quite like it and it's beautifully made. So does anyone know what it is? What's it's used for? Or what do I do with it? It looks quite old, but it's so odd and I've no idea what the two separate pieces are for.

I feel really confused by it.

One on eBay looks similar

A bit Georgia o'keefe!

Good luck with the sale OP.

In the link that @senua shared, it suggested you can put chips and dips in it 🤣 - I'd pay to see you do it OP

I'd never make a detective...I can't tell which bit is missing!
