Looks like a serving can for ice water where the ice cubes stay behind?
Or for sangria

It's a bacon or tea maker. The grill is to drape bacon over to cook in microwave, or oven. The slit on the side is to hold a teabag string.

I guess it would be handy because after you cook the bacon you could use it to store your bacon grease, but the problem is it doesn't have a lid. And your bacon is going to have a bend in the middle.
If it's vintage, does that mean it existed before microwaves were invented so it was intended for oven use? I could hardly wrap my head around heating up the whole oven to cook 6 slices, I think I will stick with the ability to cook a pound of bacon (probably 14 slices) on a baking sheet. Or 2 pounds on a half sheet.
Tea and bacon, IDK know how the two things are related other than maybe eating/drinking at the same time, but would you use the same device/utensil to make bacon and tea? Sounds like a PITA to wash...and would why someone would spend that much money on a mug for tea when one can be purchased (minus the fancy slit for the string) for $5 or less!?

Some pottery place probably came up with the idea to make an interesting doodad to sell to customers/tourists.
There was a pottery place just outside the town my dad grew up in, which is now famous for a steeplechase race. They had all kinds of useful and beautiful handmade pottery, as well as doodads and oddities.

I was surprised too, I thought I’d need at least four of those to cook enough bacon for everyone to have a sandwich!!
But I have a bacon rack for the instant pot (ninja version) and the bacon drapes over it in a similar way (bent in the middle) and whats also surprising is it makes really great sandwich’s. Don’t know why, I think maybe the air gaps in the curled bacon adds something to the roll/sandwich
I drape my bacon over one arm only and fit three on each so 21 rashers in total (usually 20).

That is undoubtedly the weirdest kitchen item I've ever seen!

Restaurants usually cook bacon in a salamander. I still cook it in a skillet. I'm not going to change.
