Hi,
This teapot was passed to me from my father, who said he has kept it for a long time, since the 70s or 60s. I have no idea about the characters on the pot.
Re: Old teapot
I am updating some information. I talked to a friend today who speaks Cantonese as her native language. She said the inscription is old Chinese. More pictures. Hope some experts in this forum can shine some light.

Re: Old teapot
Hello, the teapots is papaya styles, 木瓜壶, if I am not wrong... since my x husband have one similarly shape of it as well , its very good for making old tea , loose tea leaves Chinese tea too, if it is old teapot. As the wording carved is oracle characters . 甲骨文, 金文,sometimes it illustrates with poems ,yes, if you could have photos with the full scenes of those carving, maybe I could find out what is it say.

Re: Old teapot

I will see if I can get in touch with a friend who studies older Chinese writing

Re: Old teapot
If i am not mistaken this kind of ornamented pots were not made during the 60-70s only before and afterwards. So yours is more likely 80s.
Re: Old teapot
Carving seems uncharacteristic of F1 but looks 80’s so maybe F2 or possibly private factory from 80-90’s.FBee wrote: If i am not mistaken this kind of ornamented pots were not made during the 60-70s only before and afterwards. So yours is more likely 80s.
