Subject:Inscribed Yixing Teapot Help Please
Posted By: Michael Tue, Aug 12, 2014 IP: 66.245.65.162
Dear Board Members,
Can you please help ID the maker of this Yixing teapot and decipher the inscription? I need to post more than 3 pictures which will require adding with a response to this message.
It is not an antique, maybe only 25 or 30 years old, and came from Wisconsin home where the previous owner had visited China.
The size measured from the tip of spout to the outside of the handle is 5-1/2 inches, 14 cm.
It appears well made; nice style, proportions, the lid fits very precisely, the inside has meticulous hand-scraping marks, and the teapot is very light in weight, only 152 grams complete.
There are marks on the base, under the lid, and under the handle I try to show in the pictures.
While not an antique it is a nice little teapot.
Any info of who made it and what the carved inscription reads is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.
