Pottery Oil Lamp?

I don't see this being a pouring vessel so maybe an oil lamp. Any idea of the origin?
Thanks

 

I think maybe it's a gargoulette.

 

Is gargoulette supposed to pour out like a teapot or you have to suck on the nipple?

 

Sorry I have no idea how it's used. I have one myself that I id'd a few years ago or I'd not even have known a name.

 

It's an early erotic curling stone..........eh !!

I agree. Look at the google pics of them. Scroll down and there is a pic of a girl drinking from one.

I think it has other names in other languages such as cantir or botijo. It does look like you drink from it.
