Its called a ewer !!  Or to put it simply a middle eastern pitcher !! Could have been used for water or other liquid !!

You will find originals and remakes of these from late 1800's to current. 

They can be American made, French, Middle East, etc....

Looks like a ewer as Mart said. This one looks to be purely decorative.
