water dropper

Precise drip tool

A water dropper is a small tool for dispensing liquid in controlled amounts, typically a glass or plastic tube with a rubber bulb at one end.

Squeezing the bulb creates suction to draw liquid up; releasing it dispenses drops.

Also called an eyedropper or pipette.

In East Asian art, a water dropper is a decorative vessel used to add water to ink stones for calligraphy.
