Subject:Brush pot?

It rather looks like a coffee mug, however traditionally Chinese people don't drink coffee.
Chinese tea cups are lidded. Brush pots are without handles.
I think this mug is not Chinese, only the bottom marking was transferred. Perhaps, others may have a different take.
Marking says,
雅玩珍蔵 - Yawan Zhencang - Precious Collection of Refined Enjoyment
The marking itself existed in the late Qing dynasty and also used in the ROC period.

With regards,
I.Nagy
