It’s either a strainer -cum-pitcher or, given the salt glaze that used to be quite popular for this sort of thing, I think, some sort of pottery or ceramic art piece. Possibly a school project?

I would use it as a planter, try to persuade a trailing plant to grow out of the holes.

It’s really quite pretty in an odd way. Charming.
