is this a yixing?

[silverneedles]

if you click on the small ones you get LARGE pics.



the scratches inside the pot go all the way up on the wall and to the lid margin inside.



i couldnt take a pic of inside the spout, but i dont see a limit line that would say it was painted or something.

i see now the scratched inscription was painted afterwards with some sort of black substance. but some spots without the black doesnt seem to be a different color than the rest of the pot?- last pic.

what do the local experts say about this yixing?

The bottom is a little funny with the rings...

Otherwise it looks ok

thanks MarshalN,
so, i got one for and one a maybe(c)

are the lines on the inside of the pot normal? they look sort of deliberately placed/made/"exaggerated" ? (tho i haven't seen many yixing insides)
but then there's the bottom circles...

...maybe this is like a younger person making it?

I have to agree with MarshlN. It does look like Yixing however, the circular lines do look a little suspicous. Maybe thrown on a wheel? I personally haven't seen such lines. Well, maybe not that deep.

The lines inside are totally normal. They use a tool to even out the inside, which leaves those lines. It's the circular lines that are a little weird.
