    I'm not sure if this would be considered a spill pot for incense or not. No idea what it is except that it is a very stereotypical character of a 'chinaman' from the mid 20th c. But even though it is a racist stereotype, he has a theatricality which i like. Any info appreciated.

      Almost certain that’s 1930s California Faience pottery.
