I’m pretty sure it is a pot that was used to hold a can of condensed milk served to accompany a tea service. The milk could be poured right from the porcelain pot. The hole in the bottom made it easy to push the empty can up for removal.

Thanks for all the replies, some gave me a laugh.
As mentioned, I should have given the size, it stands 4" tall with the lid off.
I went on the link showing Vintage Condensed Milk Containers. After looking at several of them, that seems to be what it was used for. Mystery solved that's been bugging my wife for years.

We've had help in the past, now hoping someone knows what this was used for. No markings on it. You can tell it's all hand painted.
My mother told us all about it decades before she passed, it was from her mother. We've had it for 10 years and can't remember what she said it was for. We think it might have been for putting over a candle, but not sure.
