This little creature is a rest for a tea strainer (for loose leaf tea). The legs it stands on are made entirely from a very thick glaze that becomes just fluid enough to flow out of holes in the base at the peak of the firing, then cool and solidify into glass before they have time to flow any further.
There are a full descriptions of each process as subtitles. Please let me know if there's any questions you have that aren't covered in them though!
