Might be a top to an incense burner ?

Could be the top to an old "smelling salts" vial. Used when ladies got "the vapors"

From a baker's flour shaker?

Maybe the lid of a shaker for confectioner's sugar?

Here's what it reminds me of ..

The upper half of a tea ball. Tea didn't always come in bags. You placed your tea in the ball and snapped it closed and put it in a pot to boil.

Darn it, I'm late. Wanted to say "I know, I know"...... :lol:

I found one last year, had no clue. I thought salt or pepper too, but was answered on here too. Nice find!!!
