Hi all !
Found this interesting powder flask today, Morrocan maybe? It seems to have been made from a recycled kerosene lamp.
I welcome any information about it, thanks in advance for your help! 🙂

I've seen a bit similar (metal ones and that big) in Turkey and Transcaucasia, where they said they were for drinking...
