Is it possible you have it upsidedown? Looks like if it was inverted, it
could hold bunches of flowers (or buds).


i saw something i think is similar in japan, made of ceramic though, a water
dropper used in conjunction with a ink stick and a ink grinding stone. for
preparing japanese writing ink. some of the ones i saw had no "filler
hole", i always kinda wondered how they're filled, i assumed they had to be
totally immersed in water and the air bubbled out.
