Inside & Out?

by Kalvins » Sep 29th, '12, 01:08

Any information regarding the writing on this Yixing teapot? Is this a signature? poem? Is it common to find this inside a teapot? Would like to know what it reads, so any translation will be much appreciated. Many Thanks.

No, it means the pot is made of zini on the inside and hongni on the outside.

No problem, btw, I can't quite figure out the bottom three words on the bottom of the pot, it's rather fuzzy and I am not sure what it's trying to refer to
