Small yellow dish with lid

I found this piece at a thrift store yesterday. I bought it because I thought it was cute. I have no idea what it might have been used for. It is unmarked and I am coming up empty when searching on the internet. Does anyone know who or when it might have been made? It is approximately 3 1/2" tall and 4 1/2" wide including the handles. Could it be a sugar bowl? Any input would be most helpful.
