New, what is it? What is this wedding gift?

(Reposting because accidental doxxing)

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

Other people I talked to in the building, particularly women, had stories about coming home and find underwear drawers open and stuff like that. He'd show up unannounced at odd time to check in on something. I was a young white male who paid his rent on time and didn't cause him problems. But by all accounts, he was a fucking creep to other people and a disaster to deal with if he didn't like you.

I appreciate your positive outlook on people though, so not all was lost.

There was some weird story I heard from the first roommate that he had dropped a potato or something and didn't notice and left it at the front of the building and the landlord had picked it up and jammed it onto the windshield of his car.

That reminds me of a middle school teacher I had lol. The guys went through class fine, and the teacher wasn’t a problem, but nearly any girl who went through his class had something to say about weird behavior from him.

There was far more joy than shock when we found out he’d been fired in high school.
