Ralphie's prodigious sniffer was on summer vacation, but he's back in action, raring to go!
But he needs some of your GENEROUS EXPERT opinions about these 3 items:
This Majolica piece is marked with a paprt sticker: "BORDALO PINHEIRO PORTUGAL" & there is a notch in the lid like for a spoon as in a condiment dish.
What do I call this shape/item?
This very pretty bone china looks like a funeral urn for a mouse, as it is only 4" high!
Again, what is this shape/item?
And this huge ITALIAN thingy is a heavy 7.5" tall x 4.75" diameter!
Vase? Cannister? Whaddya??
Also, can anybody make out the backstamp?
THANKS be to ALL of ye!

I think the first one is called hen in a basket or chicken in a baske.
the third one may be a wine cooler
wish Ralphie was with me this morning but then sniffing through stuff covered with roach shitz might not be his style

Hey! THANKS! I think ye be RIGHT about WINE COOLER!
Yeah, I know it's a CHICKEN-IN-A-BASKET, but a CHICKEN-IN-A-BASKET WHAT??? 
I should have shown that the hencaust is a TWO-PIECE thingy! But, do ya see the notch for a spoon there???
THANKS!
BTW: I asked & he says that Roach-KaKa is not his "cup-of-tea," although he knows some neighborhood cats...

The Chicken:
Since it has a lid with a notch.
It is more than likely a sugar bowl of sorts.
Are there any condiments you would put on chicken exclusively?
I know you don't put sugar of chicken, but I doubt if it's a BBQ sauce dish.

Your chicken is a tureen. Depending on size it could have been made for soup, stew, kibbles and bits---

Tom, the chicken thing looks like what some call a jelly jam or marmaldade jar. But it seems a little shallow for it - how deep is it?
The English also call it a honey pot.
The RD piece might be a toothpick holder?
Good luck with them!

Tis only 2" deep -- 7" x 4" x (bottom dish=2"
TOOTHPICK HOLDER sounds plausable -- I was thinking BUTTON BOWL also??
THANKS EVERYBODY!

In my most humble opinion, that chicken thing is a gravy tureen. My guess, based on the size given, is it holds maybe a pint. Probably had a ladle at some point in its existence...

hey tom,..., i just looked in my book and see the same shape toothpick holder. its under art glass and this one is called lusterless white (dont know if you can see it but its the 2nd one) they dont describe the shape but it looks very similar. (This one says its cira 1892,dont know about the r/doultan one tho!)
See, Tom if you want the right answer you will have to pay attention to the size!
ok, so I can delete this pix now?

I think the Royal Doulton is a small ginger jar missing its lid and there is one that height in the completed auctions. Four inches is a bit too tall for a toothpick holder but that's just my humble opinion.
