Does anyone know what this is?

Flat Circular ceramic with hole in the middle and a side spout. It's hollow
Any information will be appreciated - Thank you!

 

I think it just HAS to be a PART of something... like something attaches to the spout and/or goes into the hole...

 

Look at the dabs of paint on the unglazed part.
If it didn't have holes in both the top and bottom, I'd say it's one of those oriental artist's water droppers.

I think Gila is right. Something must be missing.

 

Welcome!
I don't know but please always enlarge your photos.
Thank you.

 

Would the diameter be around six feet?

 

If it was much smaller, like 6" diameter, I'd think about multi-element high voltage power line insulators, but I think most of those are solid glass or porcelain.

 

Part of a water purifier??

 

Point seems to be lost but for 3 of us Spring.

 

If it HOLDS the water, and is around 10" to 12" dia, I'd suggest a ceramic bed warmer, but so little to go on...........

 

I think it's smaller than a flea....but maybe it's as big as Jupiter.
Just not sure.......

 

Could be a very rare non-capsizing kayak (lovingly referred to as "NCK" by aficionados.) These would have done great if most kayakers just had much longer arms. The oar that came with those was about 16 feet long. This version of kayak was also very difficult to keep on course. It wound up going the way of the Aqua-Car; an article or two in Popular Mechanics mag, 2 or 3 sales, bankruptcy. So sad. Such a great idea, so many alligator-armed kayakers!

 

Might be a UKO.

 

I wonder what happens when you blow into the side spout.....

 

Let us know......

 

Okay, as usual, I don't get that joke... six feet? Huh?

I think the object is a steampunk needle-gun. You put a needle tightly into the top, then point it at the enemy, and blow sharply into the spout, thus launching the needle. You should aim for the eye.

 

You're a sick puppy !!!!

 

Because it's apparently a state secret as to the measurements of this thing.
Someone please call Edimwit Snowden and see if he knows...

 

I got it...

It's a one eye'd one toe'd flying purple people eater's....flute !

 

I have one of these.
