What is it????

[jtw1313]

Can anyone help with this piece. It is pretty small. Has some weight I believe pewter and the hole does go through to front

That appears to be a cow's head on the spout, so I would have said it's a tableware milk/cream pourer. It's awfully small though and I suspect it might be from a child's playset... for 'doll's tea parties'.

 

[jtw1313]

My first thought was a creamer as well.....it is awful heavy to be a child’s toy?

 

[DizzyDigger]

Agree on the creamer idea, but it also looks like an
old style oil lamp.

Here is a pic to see size better

it's called a pap boat.

A feeding device for the infirm.

I would say though, that this one looks more like an asian facsimile... Probably from India.

Something else I didn't know existed. Thanks OWK. Apparently also used for feeding infants.
