Subject:Looking for help with Glazed Teapot

Any information on this piece would be greatly appreciated. Notice that there are two symbols on the bottom of the tea pot.

Hi Jennifer,
there is a similar vessel in the Smithsonian's Museum of Asian Art, and they call it a teapot or oil bottle. It is dated in 19th to mid-20th century and was made in the Shiwan kilns of Guangdong, China.
Regards, Mat
P.S.: You can find it in their online collections under the accession number S2005.66a-b .
