A seal doesn't tell much about a teapot. From the photo, clay texture can hardly be judged. So I can't really evaluate the teapot.

The seal says "China, Yixing", and the lines next to the seal says it was made by Yixing No. 1 Factory, directed by Gu Shaopei, a famous yixing artist.

The price depends on the country, how many people sell it and how many people want it. Most importantly, it depends on who sells it. I guess, if it's authentic, in US, it will be probably $120-150. But that's just a guess.

Hehe..I think..just showing a mere stamp won't tell you much.

Myself haven't witnessed Factory-1 had a such fashion (maybe someone can corrrect me), telling working for someone unlikely follow a philosophy of communism..more in an opposite way....many famous masters made commercial pots at Factory-1, hid their names but just stamp that says "Zhong Guo Yi Xing" nor those commercial pots by masters today are so pricey, cos they lack accuracy and artisanship

Gu Shao Pei is the grand master btw...and these just just my opinion

Most of these types are fakes -- it's quite typical because there's a famous name and people are often willing to pay more just for that. Where did you get this?

Although I don't like this kind of bamboo style teapot, I think this teapot has very nice clay. But my experience is very limited. So we shall wait and see what other people say.

Charles, it's actually a funny thing of the old era that everything is "under the direction" of a person of higher status. It's probably some Chinese localized communism rule

I've seen some other teapots of this type, No. 1 factory apprentice class, under the direction of xxx, but never thought of buying one. The other pots have the "direction" has 辅导 instead of 指导. But I don't know if both types exist, or only one type is right. If it's authentic, some people may still don't want to pay a lot of money for it. After all it's not made by Gu Shaopei, but by apprentice of the factory. Some people may want to pay a lot of money for collecting it or for the clay quality. Also as MarshalN said, there are indeed a lot of fakes of this kind, some are almost the same as authentic ones. Then depending on how many of them are out there, the market price of the authentic ones can be impacted. Market price is subjective. As long as the teapot is good and price is reasonable, then it's good

So when you bought it, what did the shop tell you?

US$?
That sounds expensive to me. But do you like the teapot and clay and will you enjoy using it?
You may touch base with Tead Off and learn more about how the price is compared with other things sold by the same store, supposedly it's a famous store. A big and historical seller may give you (and the next collector, if you decide to sell it in the future) extra confidence on the authenticity of the item. Meantime, a big and famous seller may charge big (or huge) commission on an item sold.

As far as I know a piece made by an artist with master-level credential will easily exceed 1000$ in price.
Perhaps it was made in the workshop of Gu Shaopei by other artist under him?
