    Any idea if the piece could be with Chinese origin and suggestions on age?
    By the way, water droppers usually have a small hole to regulate the flow of water but I don't know what else this one could be?

    Thanks

    Are you sure there isn't hole under the handle - where it meets the pot?

    Hi Messi,
    Even if it is a hole there, the spout would still be too big don't ya think???
    Unless it is 2" or less.

    About 4" in diameter, 2 1/2" from the floor to the spout. No holes under the handle. When I blow in the spout no air comes out. The inside opening of the spout is about 1/4".
    As a whole, the pot does the job to drop( more like drip) rather than pour.

    I have not seen that decoration on Republic, neither on Qing porcelain. But again, I don't know if that is a Chinese piece.

    Could it be Vietnamese or Korean? (Listen to me spout off as if I knew pottery)
