Subject:What is this object used for?
Posted By: Ray Sat, Feb 17, 2018 IP: 2602:304:cf5f:5970:4

Hello. Does any one know what this is? It looks like a strange looking teapot. And also how old it might be?
Thanks.

I believe this is a tea or wine pot

It would appear to be either for cooking oil or soy sauce. It also looks to have been made in the ShiWan potteries in Foshan City, near Guangzhou.

Dear Ernest,

Agree possibly wine, but unlikely for tea.

Thank you so much for your help in indentifying the maker.I found a few similar examples when I searched for Shiwan pottery.
