    I have had several people look at this and no-one so far seems to know for sure what it is. All I ever hear is that it is primitive. If anyone can clarify please let me know.

      This is a generally called a kyusu, or Japanese teapot, specifically a yokode kyusu, a Japanese teapot with a side handle, used for brewing green tea.

      The design for the side handle was adapted from a similar style Chinese pot, used for preparing medicinal herbs. You don't mention the size, but if it is considerably larger than a typical tea pot, it is more likely the Chinese herb pot. They are usually larger, to contain the larger quantity of medicinal herbs often needed.
