tunning vintage soup bowl or could it be a double handled tea cup? Pin Cushion.
These are larger than your average cups and make wonderful pincushions. Even the fabric is vintage and in addition to filling, I have added an amount of certified AIC lavender, so they smell super sweet too.
I have left the saucer separate, but they are very easy to glue to the cup if you would prefer (just message me and I will do this before I ship).
The saucer makes a perfect place to pop a bobbin or your thread.
