Mystery pot - where is it from and what is it for?
I would very much welcome help to identify this mystery pot - no idea what it would be used for or where it was made!
It measures approx 19cms x 13cms and, from the design, looks like it may have been a tourist piece, but unable to find out from where. It contains two stainless steel vessels, presumably for some kind of food...melted chocolate maybe?? The sgraffito design has an Italian vibe, but I doubt very much that this is its origin. Searches have produced no sign of the pot, its use, the design or the base label for GalaxyNine, which was presumably an importer or shop outlet rather than a studio.
Many thanks for any ideas or inspiration you can give.

Can thr metal liners be removed. If so can you send photos and photos of the decoration on the other sides.

Reminds me a little of acoma pottery. There is a water carrier motif on the side. Does the lid fit well without the metal liners? I think the metal liners maybe a later addition.

Funnily enough, Google Lens picked out Acoma/Native American examples, but nothing that was an exact match, especially with the sgraffito markings. The lid fits well with the containers inside and sinks in a little without. There is also the hole in the bottom to consider. I'm not familiar with this type of work - would they have made a lidded object with a hole in it? Perhaps it's a more modern use of a traditional Acoma design. If you are able to point me in the direction of the pottery you saw with a water carrier motif, I will research a little further. Many thanks for your help!
