<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayC, post: 378766, member: 5121&quot;]I picked this Cadogan glazed earthenware wine/water pot up a while back.&nbsp; For those who don&#039;t know, (don&#039;t be embarrassed, I didn&#039;t when I first bought the pot), a cadogan pot is sometimes called a &quot;puzzle&quot; pot and has no lid.&nbsp; Once submerged in liquid the pot will fill through a bottom hole and an interior barrier (tube) prevents a back flow.&nbsp; It can then be poured without leaking. I believe this one is Asian, and probably Chinese, but I have never seen another of such a beautiful, organic, shape...most look like stylized peachs.&nbsp; According to lore, the first Cadogan was made in China during the Song dynasty and named for Lady Cadogan who brought one back to England...where it became popular.&nbsp; I think this one may be a water dropper used in calligraphy...but I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; Has anyone seen one similar? The Cadogan stands a little less than 6 inches tall.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
