Featured English Mulberry Transferware Covered Jar

Would anyone know the purpose of this pot? 6" tall. The lid has a steam hole. Unmarked base.

 

Perhaps a covered sugar bowl? Of course, that wouldn't need a "steam hole."

 

HA! Soup Tureen was on the tip of my tongue, but when you say only 6" tall, I have to start up my brain!!!!!! At the VERY least, I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!

 

Rice, soup or gumbo bowl?

 

The lid does not appear to have a place for a ladle to sit.

 

I thought a grease jar, maybe.

 

I found a teapot but still don't know the maker: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/staffordshire-mulberry-purple-transfer-teapot-19th
At least, I think it's the same pattern, but I'm surprised the finials are different. Sometimes, sugar bowls with vent holes actually have teapot lids, but....

 

Miniature tureen from a child's set.

 

Janet, same pattern.

Owned, no spoon slot in the lid.

 

Vegetable tureens didn't have slots or holes.
