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)

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.
