If it were English it would be called a silent butler. The ashtray idea is about right.

Hello, yes, that is an ashtray with a lid. "Floreat" was a production line of Wilhelm Binder, Schwäbisch-Gmünd, Germany. Best wishes, BahnerII

A silent butler. Used not to store ashtrays, but rather to empty the ashtrays into. With smoking on the wane I have seen these used for bon-bon dishes. They were popular in the US between the 1920s and 1960s.
