OK so it is about the size of what we use for soups and made similarly !! What does it look like inside and on the bottom ??  Is it discolored in any way ??  I would guess that it is an art piece that some carver decided to do, but could be utilitarian as well !!

Looks very much used and maybe milk or water has been in it ?  So don't think its a spare time item from a artist or woodcutter .
