    Can anyone tell me what is the actual function of this item?

    This item really does have a special function, and no it's not some sort of monument from Easter Island. I added the eyes with a sharpie and the yellow crown, however everything else here is apart of it's original state. After everyone tries to guess what it is, then I will tell you all the answer. I promise!

    Glad you told us the crown is not part of the piece. Looks like a canister to a blender or smoothie maker. But it does really look like a monster from a syfy movie ...

    Food processor or blender??  It does look like it already has a 'face' without the bits you have added.

    I'd say it's off of a blender, but it does kind of look like Sarah Jessica Parker.

    Hmm... it looks like either a mead blender or a penis grinder for the celibacy-vowed monk who has a hand with a mind of its own!

      Funny!, My first thought was a character in Veggie Tales!

      I want to leave this comment to everybody here, and that is this item is less than 4 inches in height.

    Could be a blender, or the container off a vacuum cleaner. Dunno!

    The upper part of a vacuum brewer?

    It could be a blender for mixing fruit etc?

    It is for making citrus juice, mainly orange juice.

      It is some type of planter - or vase - to grow starter seeds/plants.

    Looks like half a coffee percolator(Cona Coffee) from the 70's, where the coffee brewed in the bottom half and then forced its way up through a central draw-pipe to the top half, which could be kept on a heating ring to stay warm/drinkable.

    I believe it is a blender for shakes, smoothies, etc. That is what I believe. Or a Big Gulp cup - LOL.

    All of your answers were great. The problem simply was that you all were thinking too big. This item actually fits into the palm of your hand, and it's just a little under 4 inches in height. The black thing that's coming down the front of the item which looks like a nose is actually a hand level that you squeeze in and out. This item is an empty pepper grinder. Now you know TheHoleStory!

      I never used a pepper grinder - in fact I do not even use pepper.

    I have a set of these in the kitchen. It could be either an old salt or pepper grinder.
