This is a stoneware medical device from the 19th century.  It is a Meritor Improved Inhaler made by Maw of London.  Boiling water and medicine was poured into the bowl and the steam was inhaled from the stem on the side.  The only issue with this is a half inch chip from the top rim, and some overall crazing of the glaze.  The bottom is marked Made In England.  Satisfaction guaranteed.  The sale is for the item shown here.
