Arabia Finland pottery for what? (lemmy.world)

Found this at an estate sale. It’s like a bowl that’s 3/4 covered. I thought it might be a dried flower vase for a wall, but there’s no place on the back to hang it. No inventions for smokables. Anyone have any ideas what it is?

I have zero experience with pottery or Finland so this is just a guess: possibly a necklace display piece? It has a shape like you'd display a necklace on and the black ovals could be good contrast for jewelry?

Good guess. I could definitely see it being used as a display piece.
