Chinese info jug

Not sure if jug is the right term for this.
Now let's see if I am learning because that's what I am trying to do. Picked up this item mainly because I liked the strange dragon and my favourite colour is orange. Did some research and found the mark on the web. It looks the same however given the inferior quality of the jug would believe this was manufactured at a later stage by someone else. I was just impressed I found the mark.
Happy for any comments.

i would say pitcher....with spout....the factory 1 mark looks good......
I see no reason to dig deeper.....seems u found what u needed to...

 

No handle. How about carafe? Or sake bottle with spout?

 

I'd say water.....the spout would dissipate heat from a sake carafe...

 

Chris - How big is this and how much does it hold. I found some this shape earlier today being called soy sauce decanters/bottles. Didn't have time to post back.

Yours is missing the lid.

 

About 250mm I reckon would have to check when I get home

 

Oops got 250 wrong is 140mm high 90mm at bottom photo front top attached c

 

Chris, to me it's the right size for soy sauce - or even oil or vinegar - at the table.

Here are a couple of others about the same size:

Like the top one! Shame in missing lid
So given my bottom mark is different and they look more recent would you say mine is from the 60s as the Gotherborg site says
