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?

How do you know what is "upside down" ?

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.
