How do I describe this bowl in a listing??

I've got this three part bowl with what looks like a strainer in it and I'm too ignorant about Victorian tableware to accurately describe it in a listing. I think it's Victorian but could be wrong as usual. would someone please elucidate me?
Forgot the size - it is 14cm round and 10 high.

Compote?

 

Not sure. They are usually a stemmed thing. Might be designed to drain something or maybe hot water is in the bowl and the steam keeps something warm.
Those drain holes a pretty wonky.

Handmade by someone who did not know or care that neatness counts. It's still functional.

 

Butter dish??...where ice is placed below the insert?

 

Almost looks like a soup tureen with strainer????

 

No size noted, but it looks to be a fairly usual butter dish with ice drainer- as the ice melts, the water runs through and the butter stays relatively dry instead of doing the back stroke in the resultant puddle................

 

It's a soap dish. Went with a wash bowl and pitcher.
Not meant for a dinner table, meant for a commode.

 

good call Cluttered !

 

Ah a soap dish. Thanks for that Cluttered. It is a small one at 14cm round and 10cm high.

Not really, 4-6 inches sounds about right.
Soap wasn't bought in bars. It was hand made, rolled in balls, or cut in pieces.

 

I know what happens when a bar of Dove gets left in a soup dish with a little water in the bottom..........MUSH !!!
