Love it !

A question for you : how would your recognize a Chao Zhou teapot from a Yixing teapot ?

I have a 75ml that looks like it could be from the same era. Not surprisingly, it works really well for Chao Zhou Kung Fu tea.

Chaozhou is wheel-thrown, Yixing is hand-tapped,

also Chaozhou clay is a 'clay' but Yixing clay is sort of ores that later grinds into a clay. With some eye training, it's rather simple

Thank you all for the learned respoinses
I only guessed that it is a Chao zhou teapot

The mark is 聲晉德圃 Shengjin Depu.

There's a discussion here of another pot with this mark, in Chinese:

Google will probably translate for you better than I.

That pot also has a mark 昌記 Chang Ji on the handle. Your photos don't show whether there's such a mark on yours.

Thank you so much, I understand that is the name of region.

Please give me the answer for question:

What remark ? The pots were made from Chaozhou.

Chao Zhou is as you said the region where they come from, style wise they look almost the same as Yixing, the difference being that Chao Zhou is weel-thrown pottery as opposed to the built method from Yixing. Clay is different too, more porous if I understand correctly.

Chaozhou is also where the gong fu brewing method originates.
