The Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery has a ton of excellent detail on this piece; it's quite interesting.

You fill it via the small reservoir at the top, it drains through the handle and fills the main reservoir at the bottom. You then ~~drink~~ pour through the spout. There's no real prank aspect on this one (no hidden hole to plug with your finger, for example) but it's been heavily restored so perhaps it was originally more puzzling.
