Really neat little bottle, but what era?

I found this really neat little bottle in a thrift store and I'm not sure what exactly it was used for or what era it is from. If anyone here can identify it in any way, I would appreciate your input! Thanks!

it looks like part of a womens cosmetic set. poss. held powder. the ink in the next post is cool!! looks like the same glass. from what i can see the ink appears to be machine made . kinda looks like a piece from the 1920's or 30's. nice find!!

Yes, I think they were both a good find and I paid very little for them. This piece has really thick glass, reminds me of a marble carved out. The top is hinged to allow placing something inside. Pretty cool!

With the hinge lid it could be part of the ink set.
Looks to be the same glass as the ink bottle.
