Looks like a water dropper from the Southern Song dynasty. Would need a hands-on inspection with magnifier, etc. to verify this.

No, that is not what I meant. Monochrome glaze items are generally not easy to verify with pictures alone, because the condition of glaze and clay needs to be checked with microscope or magnifier, and the weight has increased importance because of a lack of color decoration.
