Box Identification

 I was in a thrift store looking for something to "display" the various teas I had for a tea party I was going to have for my Aunts. This is what I ended up using, because it was lined with felt and the bags stayed up.

However, along with the above item, I had purchased the wooden box below for the same purpose.  I didn't know what it was, nor did any of the employees or customers.
Any guesses as to what this is or what it might have been used for?

(It's a cutting board for bread with a "crumb catcher.")
