Looks good in the pics. Those flasks were used all over Central Asia, they aren't exclusive to the Afghans. This one has had a repair, the spout probably broke at some point. I've seen dated examples from the 1850s-70s. Occasionally you find them with a raised design, usually a trefoil. But they're not generally decorative. Simple and solid, made for use.
