According to my wife who is knowledgeable about such things it is a milk 
pitcher or creamer depending upon the size which wasn't stated. The 
Dutch motif was popular in the mid--late 1800's to early 1900's. Usually 
blue and white (flag?) The plain bottom would suggest an earlier date as 
they weren't required to mark the origin until later. Though it is not 
necessarily European as they were also produced in the US. Sometimes the 
feet protruded but it was unclear from the photo whether they were 
stylized or broken off.  About all she can tell from the photo.
