[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 769543, member: 59"]All ceramic items are made with one sort of clay or another. "Zisha" is the name of the kind of clay used in making traditional Yixing pottery, not a potter or company. Zisha means "Purple clay." You are correct that true Yixing pottery is not glazed either inside or outside, but that does not mean that it is not "ceramic." Here's a link to the Gotheborg site page about Yixing, which also shows a number of known Yixing marks. You may be able to find a match, but I wouldn't place odds on it.
