You may well be on a winner there, Sue. :D (but then again, maybe you're not!) :-\ ;) :)
Stay tuned for the climactic revelation in a couple of days! :D
Penthesilea:
It loks like a samovar to me, so I voted Chinese tea pot.
Of course, a samovar would have a spigot, but this could just be the backside to make it more difficult.
Do the figures/handles look more Aztec or more Chinese? Hmmm ....
David might be right, and the container to hold the hearts of sacrificial victims would be my second guess. But for the records I stick with Chinese teapot.

I agree, Chrissi, the handles do have a Chinese look about them. Good luck with your vote! :D
injest:
well IF it were stone I would have picked Aztec but since it is IRON I am guessing Chinese tea pot!

There is a third picture that I'm saving and will only post after I have revealed what this thing is. The third photo is taken from another angle and will reveal, indisputably, what it is used for. It may very well reveal a hidden spigot, referred to by Chrissi. That would probably make it a tea pot, Jess. In which case, you and Chrissi would be correct. However, it may reveal something else entirely different. ;) ;D
