[QUOTE="khl889, post: 258582, member: 104"]The lid has the seal of Fan Zude 范祖德 (1904~1976), a noted Yixing potter. [URL]http://auction.artron.net/paimai-art0045074198/[/URL] According to the inscription, though, the teapot is Li Yong product 利永出品 and engraved by You Shi 友石刻. Li Yong is a well-known producer of Yixing ware, especially in the Republic era. You Shi was also noted for his calligraphy. Famous Yixing ware is widely copied, just look on eBay, but the photos suggest you have quite a nice piece. I'm not clear about that color difference on the outside, though. Great shame about the damage. In any event, I think this is an interesting piece, and I'd suggest getting the opinion of someone familiar with Yixing ware. I certainly can't say whether this is genuine or just a good copy. Edit: That's not a large crack there on the back of the teapot, is it? Just the lobing, I hope.[/QUOTE]
