As a nurse, I can tell you what my first thought was, but no (also walnut would be a terrible material for that).
A coffee measuring bowl and a spray bottle for spraying water on your coffee beans, which reduces the static cling that can cause a mess when you’re grinding your own coffee.
Wow spot on

This is a great idea! How does it work? Do you most the whole beans pre-grind? Do you need to let them sit for a bit or just go straight to grinding?
Measure the beans, spritz them, maybe shake them around a little to distribute the water, put in grinder. No need to wait. It should be a miniscule amount of water, you don't want your grinder gears to rust.
Coffee dosage tray with a water sprayer (wetting the beans helps to stick the grounds together, so they are easier to distribute and don't stick to the housing of the grinder, which otherwise happens due to electrostatics).
The coffee people in the comments reminded me of this classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZK8Z8hulFg
No idea.
Some kind of standardized perfume-smelling apparatus?
A tiny barf bucket?
A novelty soup bowl?
Edit: I was not close.
My coffee ritual has started getting super complicated, but if James Hoffman tells me I need to do my pour over with two kettles at once in order to reduce acidity, I'll do it.
I'm waiting for the day that he just says "I made all of this up!" 14 minute French press tastes like 3 minute French press.
I've signed my own death warrant.
Praise James!
On topic though, I get consistently less acidic coffee by using an aeropress (inversion method) rather than a V60 or other pourover.

Please do!
I'm guessing a bedpan...
That’s clearly a hand craved bespoke walnut nut washing bowl.
