What is the purpose of this piece please??

Hi All
Here's a piece that's got me a bit puzzled, quite heavy pressed glass approx 12.5cm tall and 10cm in diameter at the rim, it has a lid in chrome with a plastic knob. Looks a bit Deco in style and I think it might be something like the Chance glass Spider Web pattern. But what is it? A small ice bucket? Condiment pot? Sugar? The gap in the lid indicates there might have been something, maybe tongs or a spoon? I'd be happy for suggestions please.
Thank you

Thanks very much, yes I had initially thought small ice buckets but no handles and then there's the gap in the lid. Thanks
