Help with a silverplate whatsit

Hi everyone. I was hoping someone might know what this is for. I'm thinking tidbit tray, but any plate would cover up the base. Unless the plate was glass. I'll probably be using it as a fancy balloon weight. Anyway, maybe someone might recognize the company from what's left of the paper label. It stands 11" high. Thanks for taking a look.

looks like it would open a bottle cap ............

 

Name looks like Dlili Inc. maybe a towel holder.

 

I’m leaning more toward your original thought, Malikm, as if you look at the bottom of that stem, it looks like it UNscrews and a possible glass or whatever kind of a dish rested right where I’ve circled in red!!! JUST MY thoughts!!

It's 'Delli, Inc' of Menlo Park, CA - mid 20th century silverplate giftware. Would have had some sort of plate/dish/bowl, likely glass...

Thanks everyone

Ahhh, so if you are handy you could pick up a plate, drill a hole in the center and make a tidy bit tray

 

Looks like it's the stem/center of a candy dish. It was big back in the 70's.

 

I have the same piece with the part that is missing on yours. It is a tray to hold little cordial glasses.
