Some kind of promotional container similar to Avon, etc. Could have contained anything from hand lotion to liquor? Monty

Looks like a signature? maybe on the bottom. Could it be one of them "glaze your own pottery" pieces. I know my grandmother had several pieces in her house that she had bought raw, glazed them, and then had them fired again. Just a guess.

I can find google hits for "Mónus J. HMV", but none in English. So I take this to mean it is from a lesser known foreign company (or artist).

I think a paint marker was used to write the name... Mónus J. HMV, so I don't think it's an antique.

Well its obviously book shaped - whiskey or vodka I'd say - Bird appears to be Eastern European I'm guessing from the Baltic, Ukraine or Russia.
