Brush holder?

Container for kitchen chopsticks and other tools?

Hi Mazzy,
This is a Chinese pillow, dating in my opinion to the Republic period (1912 to 1949).
Regards
Tony

I did some more research and it looks like it may be a porcelain pillow? What did they use these for or were they decorative piece? This does look old too
