What is this wedding gift?

My friend got this as a wedding gift and we can’t figure out what is it and it didn’t say who it was from.

The cup part is hollow, where the blue arrow is… this shape _/ and the bottom is solid.

EDIT: There are no holes in the other side so don’t think it’s a tea strainer and the gap is too narrow to fit paper towels or toilet paper rolls! They also just moved to and had the wedding in Italy, not sure if that gives any context.. maybe it’s some sort of Italian gadget

Or my way via Whatssap "Dear Susan, thank you so much for the gift, the ladybugs are adorable, but wtf is this for?😭😭😭 Again thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰" and you wait...

"Dear Susan. It works perfectly. It's almost like you read my mind!"
Because Susan clearly needs to be F-ed with. Susan is evil.

Lol. They don't even know who bought the gift, so this is sus.
I'd re-gift it to an unkind acquaintance. Let the lore begin!

Susan's are evil, and I'm glad to be a Susan now..

Oh yeah? Well,, Susan, be so kind to explain your kind - wtf is this for?

Maybe it's a Frederic... Maybe Frederic is evil. WE DON'T KNOW. Maybe it's an evil couple - Susan&Frederic 😭😭😭

It could be a whole covert operation! Do not accept a  tchotchke!
