When we use the expression function i craft context, we mostly relate it to the practical use and ergonomical aspects in an objekt, at least this has been very strong in the Swedish tradition. The function in an object could like as well be decribed as out from social, communicative, culutural aspects and so on. Entertainer/container is playing with the function conception out from a moral way to look upon it that has been used in the scandinavian functionalism.

With tentacles pulled out , in entertainerposition, the vessel is open to be filled of something else. With tentacles pulled in , in containerposition, it is beholding only itself. Then it becomes a totally selfreflecting objekt discussing what is possible to call a functional object. Is it possible to anyhow describe this as a functionalobject relating to the modernistic, functionalistic way to look upon it? One important functional aspect in this object is of course the possibility, that is offered to the user, to change the object through pulling the tentacles in and out.
