Metal pumpkin-shaped (or gourd-shaped) water dropper, made in China, with a box. The size is approximately 6cm x 4.5cm x 4cm in height (please allow for some variation due to the shape). This item was used as a water dropper for calligraphy and ink painting, and is an old item. The exterior is in relatively good condition, but there are some areas that are white. There is also white discoloration on the inside. Please check the condition in the photos. Although there should be no problem with the strength due to the metal construction, the exact material is unknown. It is probably made of copper or tin, but there is no certainty. It is a miniature size and has a lovely shape, so you can enjoy it not only for practical use but also as a decorative item. Shipping will be via Mercari's anonymous delivery service, and it will be carefully packaged and delivered promptly. We hope you will feel secure in your transaction.
