Brian thinks it is a chamber pot holder- Ew!
I think it's a secret portal to a land filled with elves!

A candle holder?
Or maybe a holy-water holder?

Juicer, that's what the bowl behind it's for.

while i think it's always important to keep holy water around in case we happen to be attacked by vampires... no. it's not a juicer, but you're on the right track...

From the green stuff at the base, I'd guess that it is an avacado pitter. mgd (Oh and why don't you wash that thing.)

Is clearly a plant holder. No? You put terracotta vase in hole?? That's what I would use it for - then plant would die and I'd throw the whole thing away. sigh

Post pictures of Coleen - need face w/ name.
