Anyone able to identify the age/maker or any other insightful information about this teapot. I think its 17th/18th century and made of red clay. Stamped in mark as well as black painted on writing.

Pictures attached

thanks!

The tea pot is commonly referred to as enamelled Yixing and you can search Yixing on Google to find out more.
The design and enamelling are not very high quality, and with the metal handles, leads me to suggest a 19th century date of manufacture. These metal handles are quite common on tea pots of the late 19th and early 20th century.
If you can find out whose mark it is, you may get a more accurate assessment.
Cheers
Tony

Some of these enamelled Yixing pots are from the Jiaqing period.
