An aged water dropper in the shape of a resting camel with saddle bags that has been glazed with cobalt.

There is a hole in the saddle for adding the water which will pour from the camel's mouth. The eyes are black dots on the unglazed buff clay. The glaze has pooled and thinned in spots giving design outlines. It has a very soft, thick feel from time, use and oxidization.

The base is flat and shows some glaze. There are no marks or labels.
