Subject:Ceramic pillow?
Posted By: Peter Fri, Feb 06, 2015 IP: 83.162.249.195
Could this be a ceramic pillow from Korea / China and what could be the age and value?

5 inches / 13 cm wide (top)
2.5 inches / 7 cm wide (bottom)
3 inches / 8 cm high
1 3/4 inches / 4.5 cm thick

The stork and cloud motif are Korean.

You really need to post better focused photos from all sides to learn more.

Korean waterdropper rather than pillow.

You must think that Koreans have tiny, tiny heads.

This is a large water dropper for use with inkstick and inkstone.

The opening on the left is where the water comes out, and the opening on the right is covered by a finger to control the flow of the water.

With the 2 holes on either side this looks to be a Korean (or Chinese made to look Korean) artist water dropper used in painting scrolls, watercolors,etc.. although the size is somewhat large
