Terracotta Shino GLaze vessel

i rescue this vase vessel in the shape of a tea pot from a junk road side market... was about to be damage, i thought what a unique piece as i have never seen anything like this before, was wondering what could this could be use for? or perhaps just art pottery

I think it's a teapot, working on the same principle as the Cadogan teapot -

Japanese maybe?

Naomim you really are brainiac i most admit... brainiac where am from means someone who is very knowledgeable... thank you for that link.. because i was wondering how could this be with the hole underneath this tea pot before :)

yes Japanese :)

How do you know that it is Japanese?

well the very first day i set my eye's on this tea pot i thought right away Japanese shino glaze... the shino glaze, clay texture and the way is been finely thrown at the base suggest to me is from that region ... although a lot of western potters do tend to use shino glaze nowadays..

... but i believe i learnt a lot from you guy's not withstanding am still learning, i try to go for stuff that fascinate me, that has got quality to it... like when i saw this tea pot i was amazed by the amount of work that has gone in making this item as there is no lid and just wondered what could this be use for or perhaps is it just art pottery vessel, as i have never seen anything like it before until Naomim told me what is use for and gave me a link.

This is a bit out of the box, but I'm wondering if it's Tibetan.

 but it is not a shino glaze and I have seen many pieces of Japanese pottery and never anything like this.

In truth there is nothing about it that suggests that it is Japanese to me.

I think it's modelled on copper kettles, hence my suggestion of Tibetan, but might be worth checking out Islamic kettles from the Middle East for something similar.

The glaze reminds me of my statue made by Marek Cecula when he was working at a Kibbutz in Israel. Might be Arab or Israeli.

then i suppose i got it wrong... might just wait and see if someone seen one of this before or know it's origin
