SOLVED: This apparently is a baking dish. Thrift store find for my wife. But why is there a hole in the side? What is it? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Oh, and it's LARGE. That's my range it's sitting on, and it covers about 2/3 of it.

Viewing hole for your miniature otter museum.

It's an Icelandic Fairy house with the roof missing. The hole is a window, and you're supposed to give them a south facing view for good fortune.

It was not supposed to be used, the hole is to hang it at the store.

Don't put your privates in it.

It’s to release pressure from closed lid baking.
