That clay has a beautiful color and 'texture' to it (the speckles in it). And the teapot has a gorgeous shape. Awesome!

By the way, the two pictures of the seal look the same (for the inside and the bottom of the pot...)?

How many of this pot did your grandfather made for the Panama Exhibit in the 10's?
I know there is one in Shanghai, and yours are from the same group 1930's? What a treasure you got there : ) T

I understand ShouZhen pots with that spout, that long, curved spout is often found in his DuoQiu, FangGu, HanPian etc..

No one ever made spout like that but Cheng ShouZhen.

One of characteritics of Yixing history..
