Odd Yixing Teapot

by Tead Off » Apr 23rd, '15, 01:32

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this type of teapot and when it was made.
Looks like Mao, but I'm not sure. Can we get a translation of the markings?

I don't think Factory #1 (as most of Yixing came from that factory during the CR) has ever made a pot like that :?

Yeah, it's weird. The bottom seal is a Yixing seal, but what does the rectangular seal underneath it say?

Kyarazen, can it be from the period? Have you seen others? Or, is this just another creation of recent times? Just curious.
