Likely Solved! Small two piece pink depression glass nesting objects

What is this small two-piece pink glass object with fitted circular rims and narrow openings?
This is approximately 1.5 inches long and appears to be pink Depression glass. Both pieces have a molded flower design, beaded edges, and a flared tab at one end.
The circular rim on one piece is slightly smaller than the other, allowing them to fit together with the flower designs facing outward. The rims have notches that leave narrow openings into the hollow center when assembled. An opening would barely accommodate a chopstick.
I haven’t noticed any maker’s marks. Photos show the pieces separately and fitted together. Does anyone recognize what this was used for?
