<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayC, post: 378912, member: 5121&quot;]Thank you for your comments! In regard to how you fill this Cadogan, (I can only speak for this one because I&#039;ve never tried another), it works much better if you submerge it in the liquid; otherwise much of the liquid flows right out the spout as it fills.&nbsp; As I said, I think it was used as a calligraphy water dropper...not as messy as wine and there doesn&#039;t appear to be any staining from the tannins as you&#039;d see on old ceramic wine vessels.&nbsp; Also, as another point of interest, the Cadogan, though earthenware, is remarkably light.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As additional background, the gentleman from whose daughters I received the Cadogan, was an officer in the U.S. Navy, stationed in the Pacific during WWII and also Korea until 1953. He brought it home from one of those tours. They didn&#039;t know what it was and considered it an Asian bud vase...an interesting application.&nbsp; I&#039;ve included some additional pictures; I hope someone is familiar with the style.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
