It does look a bit like egg shell porcelain, but it’s hard to tell from the photo. The following about Chinese egg shell porcelain is copied from...
Furniture not my thing, but it sure looks similar to my parents’ 1950s “Duncan Phyfe” dining table.
Given the mark, I would guess Southeast Asia somewhere and latter 20th c?
Chinese and of recent production, I think.
Pull toy for a child?
Both look like Meissen to me, too, although maybe from different eras. The second one is very good, but unfortunately, has been “in the wars.”

Thank you for the information! I did not know that that type of base was known as “bull’s eye.”
I have 3 of the green jars — can be antique or, as Blooey points out, new.
