Depends on its size and shape!. also consider if it has a fired glazing or is it just raw, dry clay!.

If it has been fired, you may consider serving food in it, or, at least, something like a candy dish!.

If not, you may do some flower arranging in it or some other, decorative purpose!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can put fruit into it, or socks, or spare change!.
You could use it as a bird bath,
You could grow flowers in it or put a potted plant into it!.
If it's big enough you could wear it instead of a hat!.
You could make a zen garden inside it!.
If it has a food safe glaze you could use it as a casarole and cook with it (inside the oven)!.
If it is a small bowl you can use it to drink tea from it!.
It could be a salad bowl or a soup bowl!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends on what kind of clay you used!. Was it fired in a kiln or just air dried!. Is it vitreous, such as porcelain or stoneware!. If glazed, was food safe glazes used!.
I made a set of bowls in 1954, yes, I was 6 yrs old then, but I still have them!.
I put wrapped candy in mine, because I have no idea if the glaze was food safe or not!.
I kept them because of my artwork, it's nice to see, I did improve!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would use it for change and jewelry!. Or give it to a loved one!. Mothers Day is coming! My niece and nephews always give me things like that for Mother's Day, I'm not their mom but I am their 2nd mom!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Leave it by the front door!. When you come in the door, drop your keys in and always know where they are!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
