Posted By: Jim Tue, Aug 11, 2015 It could be a tea pot, but it's more likely a water dropper, used in calligraphy for adding water to an ink stone. An ink block is ground into the water to produce ink. The six characters on the back are a fantasy Qing dynasty mark, but too small to determine the reign (for me, anyway). Regards. Jim |
