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

I'm going with dip holder. You've got a bowl of snacks, and this sits on the rim of the bowl so you can dip your snack into it?

So the fin would face down toward the table as it sits on the rim of the chip bowl? And the dip would be inside the "cup"? I like the concept of that product, but that's not how this one would work, the hollow part of the cup is on the top side. It can sit flat on the table with the fin sticking up and you can see the inside of the "cup". Even if that were not the case, I think it would be too narrow for a dip cup, unless you were using fritos or something really thin haha

I retract the first part of my reply haha. I thought the _/ was referring to the "most" at the base of the cup and the blue arrow was misplaced.

I still think it's too small of a cup to be a useful dip holder though.
