I need some help! can someone tell me what this pottery item is?

Hi Friends

I have this pottery item from KG Luneville, France, but, I don’t know what it is! It’s hollowed out inside and has numerous holes in the top. It’s one solid piece. Thank you very much for any help!

You can use this with powered sugar, parmesan cheese, baby powder or talcum powder offering so many uses because it is tall and the bottom should be like this image â–¼ below. These shakers are worth $125.oo (and down) for the right collectors

This one looks like yours, or it’s a similar pattern; it’s a completed listing on the dark side.

I don’t know what it really is, but I would be using it as a body powder dispenser! Soooo much prettier than anything I’ve seen lately!

Does it have any hole in the bottom?? If it doesn’t…. it is a hat pin holder.
