Does anyone have any idea what this might be?  My mother brought it home from

an estate tag sale.  The inside is glazed, the hole isn't big enough to be a cookie

jar and doesn't have a pouring spout for a decanter etc., it looks to me like the

bottom of a skirt with ribbon bows for decoration.  Has anyone  seen one of these

before?  Only mark is a faint hand rendered letter M. I have it in my glassware

collection under bubb1ette1959 if you would like to see a few pictures of it. 

Thanks for the input.
