OK! actually, guest@7:49am came incredibly close - it's a makeup compact (the bird head twists off to reveal lipstick, there's a mirror and powder inside and there's even a tiny pillbox), designed by salvador dali for elgin america. it's called "bird in hand" and was designed to fit perfectly in the palm of a woman's hand. it's pretty rare. i love some of the guesses though (i'm looking at YOU, rasha!)
