    I think it’s an aesthetic movement spittoon?

    $5. 1D06CBE8-7833-41A0-9E91-461DE184B7D1.jpeg DBD69136-ED09-4280-817A-5CFEEEDA77EC.jpeg A932BDE7-7DFE-40C1-94B4-C57012345CA0.jpeg 8CB0280E-7E5E-4AEF-B439-04871991E756.jpeg

    I'm afraid that base is pretty typical of modern Asian/Chinese pieces. Decoration is certainly Chinese.

    It certainly might become one, especially if it is a recent Chinese piece

It was no money at all,I just found it interesting.Looks like it’s maybe a little stoneware vessel or bottle with the cork stopper missing? Or what?

    Thank you for the comment. Much appreciated. I think I do still detect a very faint smell (must be liquor)

    Not sure what you call them but appears to be a drafting table system for sliding rules (keeps them aligned as you move them).
