I discovered this little jewel in the basement! I have been able to find the "dish" but not the "lid" or "top". Nowhere have I been able to find the name of the pattern. I have found several pattern names, but none of them seem to be correct.
The dish has been described as everything from an ashtray, butter pat dish, trinket, and pin dish.
It appears to have been sold alone or with a "toothpick" or "cigarette holder". The last photo with the holder is off of the Internet.
It is approximately 3 to 4 inches across. The lid appears to go with it because they fit nicely together.
Does anyone know what this top part is?
I have searched for days!!!
Please help! Thanks
A potpourri or posy pot.

Thank you so much IVAN49 !
The lid doesn’t go with the pin tray. The pin tray either came in a boxed set of two with different patterns, or with the small posy holder/ toothpick holder. They are fairly common, made in the 1960-80’s, yours being part of the Woodland flowers series, I believe an Anemone?
Thank you maryh1956!!! I wondered about the lid. However, it fits perfectly!
Probably belonged to a vase or potpourri jar that got broken but was kept because it fit the dish, but no practical use for it on such a shallow piece
