This is a ceramic soy sauce dispenser. The name of the pottery is unknown. I remember it being from around the 1970s. You can pour soy sauce from this dispenser into a small dish for individual use. Perhaps it's purple because it's a soy sauce dispenser. The size is approximately 10cm in diameter at the top (from the mouth) and 6cm in height. There are scratches and a soy sauce smell. Please understand this. It will be shipped via Yu-Packet Plus.
