Stoneware pot with trumpet spout

A friend asked me to help with this unusual pot. He thinks it is a Posset pot but it doesn’t look like any posset pots I have seen.

The trumpet handle is also a spout.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

He now tells me it’s not a spout

 

I'd say a stoneware bong or water pipe!

 

John, how big is it? Could it be a bean pot or a French onion soup pot?

 

i think a wood or metal stick went into the handle and it was used to pour.....liquid !

 

Yes I found some French onion soup pots with similarities

 

Does it have a spout, or is the top rim just kind of irregular? I agree it's for pouring. The shape is wrong for soup. Did you ever say how big it is?

 

There is a very small lip. I don't have the exact size but it is approximately 15cm tall. My friend found an identical one sold at auction as a posset pot but I remain unconvinced that that is what it is.
