What is it?
The item is wood with two rounded "wells" inside. On the side of the item is a crank (the handle is missing). The top is removable (with knobs for lifting) and is glass in a wide wooden frame.
Mother-in-law purchased this as curio in southeastern Ontario Canada. Probably at a garage sale.
