Found this little guy at an antiques show this weekend. Listed as a "flower vase" it's way too small for that. Only about 3" high and maybe 4" long. Ceramic, marked Made in Japan on the bottom. I was thinking maybe it was part of a tea set, but someone on Instagram suggested sake. There doesn't seem to be an obvious place to sip or pour from, although there's what looks like a smooth pour channel over the tail, it doesn't quite extend far enough to be functional.
