Antique Japanese Hyotan Gourd Flask
A nice large size Hyotan gourd bottle or flask. Hyotan gourds were used as bottle to carry various things throughout Japanese History. Medicine, Sake, Water and Gunpowder! I believe this one given its size was used for water. There is a metal end for the spout. No lid unfortunately. It sounds like the cork or wooden bung may have been pushed inside. A lovely object which can be hung from its rope. Measures 27.5cm Long x 11cm wide
