What is it

[jtw1313]

Is this some kind of puzzle pitcher? I can't make out anything the bottom says. Wondering why there is a hole on the handle and two at top of handle on each side

Kind of odd. It looks cool, but I can't figure out how it works. Is it a pipe of some sorts?

I'm thinking like Kray here. Don't think it's a pitcher.

On my cell phone it looks like it says kautar kau garda karcag. Some letters might be wrong as they are hard to see.

I put kautar kau garda in google translate and it says "to protect your cattle" language Hausa

That is an Intricately Glazed container with a lot of work put into all of the construction of the entire item, Hmm. When I enlarge the pictures, I see shadows thrown by some of the letters indicating that the letters are not carved into the bottom but are on top of the vessel, are they 'positive'/on top or proud of the bottom of the container? Seems like this picture should be entered into a ceramic what is it thread..........63bkpkr

It's probably not an Assassin's teapot, but it's interesting to read about them and then go " hmmmmm".

Funny, my first thought when I saw this piece was, 'Turkish Water Pipe/Jug'.

My second thought was, 'The British Open Trophy, known as the Claret Jug'.
