Porcelain duck. Is it a planter?? Help please

Or Toothbrush or sponge holder

 

Given he has a bit of age, I'd think a vase. A planter would be more likely be shaped like this.

Debora

 

my first thought was a pie bird. base doesn't seem right for that though.

 

Ok, now I want pie

 

That sweet glaze an' soft lines are reminiscent of Catalina Island Pottery, to me.

 

IF that's a hole in the bottom, then I don't think it's a vase......just sayin'.....

 

I also wonder why he has a vent hole if his mouth is open, but that's neither here nor there.
