Maybe it's just not a very useful teapot :) What would this be used for? Marked WALL - 95% ZINN with an Angel - I assume Wall is the maker.

    No size given - possibly a neti pot? I know they usually have an opening on the top, but............................

    I'ts about 4 inches in diameter - and I just filled it with water - holds about 8 ounces. Also - the way the spout is, you can't get a stream of water coming out it basically drips out / small spurts because there is no air vent. Took about a minute to empty out the 8 ounces of water.

    some one, some place, talked about a water dropper - something Asian, to do with ink, etc. ..................But this appears to be marked in German (tin), so..................I'm probably probably on the wrong track AGAIN............

    I guess some type of "drip pot" makes sense - because it's definitely not gonna pour anything out :)

    A true water dropper does actually a hole in addition to the spout. And I doubt would be this "large" anyway.

    Aaron - if you click on Full Image after you upload all your photos they will appear in your post like this. Makes it easier on us to see it.

    I think something to do with the nose may be correct. Maybe they put mentholated water or the like in it and you inhaled?
