    It is heavily marked also. Mark on the bottom, Two marks inside lid, and another on the bottom of the handle. It is 5" tall and 7" from handle to spout. I thought the lid was also very unique and couldn't find one like it. I think this is called the purple clay; it has a purple cast to it. Any help with the marks would be appreciated also. There is one chip on the inside of the lid but otherwise it is in excellent condition.

    It's the reticulated lid that is odd, but also what drew me to it. At first I thought it was a marriage, but the the small mark matches the one on the body. So they were made to be together.

    The lid looks like bamboo leaves. I think it's a perfect match stylistically.
