    I found this at an Estate sale. Liked it because it is very unusual. I would like to know what it is called. I know that the fluid is poured into the hole and you tip is upside down when you want it to come out the spout. It has a crackle glaze finish. has a design of some kind embossed in the material it is made from. What do you think?

      maybe a chinese water dropper in the shape of a peach?
    4. Patdaniel4, 9 years ago
      I know what it is --a Chinese wine pot. Shaped like a peach.

      How do you know what is "upside down" ?
    6. ho2cultcha ho2cultcha, 9 years ago
      i'm pretty certain that this is a chinese water dropper. peach shaped ones are pretty common, but this may be a very good one.
