    Bought this (height: 10cm), with the seller saying it's Chinese, me thinking it's Indian, and an Etsy seller, with a fairly similar item (https://www.etsy.com/listing/1184879928), saying it's Togolese

    The circular design at the top reminded me of this dhokra bowl

    That's why I thought it would be Indian.

    You may be right
    I may be crazy

    Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for

    Turn out the light
    Don't try to save me

    You may be wrong for all I know
    But you may be right

    BJ.

    I agree with komo on this one - most likely Akan/Ashanti/Asante, from Ghana. Such lidded containers are called "kuduo".
