Pier One,circa 1986 ! I swear I had the same teapot when I was VERY into blue and white china.

This appears to have an honorary/auspicious Qing dynasty Yongzheng porcelain marking. Yongzheng was the 3rd emperor of the Qing dynasty. Nowwww, the way this marking is done definitely looks like a relatively recent hoinorary/auspicious marking. It is not finely done. This has been a common practice out of China for the past 50+ years to use honorary markings. Here are authentic Yongzheng markings:

"The presence of a painted reign mark does not mean a piece is authentic -- any Chinese high school student can paint characters in their own language. However, the markings can help to confirm other indications of date."

Here is a 20th century Yongzheng marked teapot.

Here are some similar to yours. They are not authentic Yongzheng! If they were they would have sold for thousands.
