Another piece I found yesterday at an antique store. Really interesting and high quality workmanship. Any info would be great, it is not signed. It cannot be a teapot?? Perhaps just decorative.

I have to guess it is a reproduction of this piece:

Likely repro, but a good one.
Oh wow it's very cool. That marking on the bottom is the makers mark but I don't know who it would be. I def say Asian but I'd have to stick with racer above and her comment. She knows her stuff!
racer and shareurpassion, thank you for commenting.
thanks for the loves lovelypat, annab, share, aura, ho2, mrs, mike, racer, fort, vetraio, and anik.
Pour water in the hole in the bottom and turn it back over
Que bonita! Que buen hallazgo! , No es una tetera, es una olla invertida, es para tomar vino, por eso algunos la llaman " la copa de Pitágoras* , se llena por debajo, por el orificio con forma de flor, eso es un conducto por donde pasa el líquido hacia dentro , luego al girarse a su posición normal, el vino no se escapará, y al servirlo, saldrá por la boca del animal representado. Aunque es tan linda, y si tono verde claro tan especial, que habrá algún lugar donde decore de forma hermosa. ;-)
Reversed Flacon you can still buy at Amazon. Great conversation piece
