    chi2.jpg chi3.jpg Any idea what these are used for? Any special name? 5" across or so. Thinking vintage or newer, all thoughts appreciated. :)

    Interestingly, the mark is "China, Yixing." Yixing isn't really known for celadon.

    Probably water droppers, but not very practical with those loose lids: you need to control the flow of water carefully, usually with your finger over the airhole.

    Thank you Mill Cove and Khl889.

    Appreciate the link, and appreciate the translation!

    Perhaps these are a decorative version of a water dropper.

    This will give me a good start. Many thanks. :):):)

    With those loose lids, vinegar and soy sauce pots might be a more practical use. As well, they usually come in pairs, unlike water droppers.

    A good suggestion. Yes, the "pair" was throwing me off, too.
