Is this Chinese and from the SONG Dynasty? It has a spout near the top and a hole in the base I suppose liquid was put in the hole and then plugged The pot is just over eleven inches in height I would be glad of any information on the period and use. Many thanks.

These are known as Cadagon Wine Pots. Wine is poured into the bottom hole and will "magically" not leak out when in use.
