Title: Oriental tea pot?
Post by: Dan1981 on September 20, 2014, 12:51:41 PM

Hi everyone.

This is my first post and I am a real amature when it comes to antiques. I have attached 3 pictures of a tea pot I have found today at a car boot. I believe it is a yixing tea pot. It stands 10cm tall. That us all I know at the moment. Is there anyone out there who could shed some light on the maker or anything relating to this piece.

Many thanks in advance

Hi, I think you are certainly right that this is Yixing, but I cannot read the mark unfortunately...

The potters mark appears modern to me...still looking.
