Featured Teapot mark identification. Likely Chinese.

Hello. I have (what I think is) a Chinese teapot. It is slightly chipped and so I am thinking about giving it to a charity/thrift store. However, I would like to know more about it. I have tried to identify the pottery marks, however I have been unable to do this. I would be extremely grateful for any advice. The first image is the mark on the base, and the second image is the mark on the inside of the lid. The third image is an image of the whole teapot. Many thanks, James

Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate the identification, and the relevant links. I will have to tell my mom, and see what she wants to do.

Unfortunately there are many fakes, so you need to look at the entire piece, which is something most people can't do.

One of the things Yixing buyers judge a pot by is the line from handle-pot-spout, that needs to be a straight, horizontal line. I can't see on the photos if this pot has that.

 

Hi. That is very interesting, thank you.

 

Yixing they're correct these I never looked into very hard to date due to the fine potted work. You can find a pot from 1890 compared to 1912+ they'll look very about the same the mark is the best to find date. I'll post a link from fb group he's a master in Yixing pot & marks
