Odd pottery piece

[carling]

Anybody got a clue on this one?

Its almost 6.5 inches high, and has some paper label remnants on it with what appears to be oriental writing. No writing or symbols on the pottery itself. Found in an attic under the old poured insulation.

Thanks for any info!

Rick

Very nice piece. I would imagine that it was a saki flask.

Hi Rick -
That is known as a 'tiger whiskey'.
