Round seal at bottom. (The image in screen has been darkened for better contrast of characters).

One leg of the toad is broken, there is still some dirt on the teapot which could be easily cleaned. No other faults.

5,8 x 5 x 4,2 inches.

This is a very scarce Yixing tea-pot which definitely draws attention when displayed.

It would make a great gift for tea pot collectors.

Yixing clay (simplified Chinese: 宜兴; traditional Chinese: 宜興) is a type of clay from the region near the city of Yixing in Jiangsu province, China. Its use dates back to the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279).

From the 17th century on, the ware was commonly exported to Europe. The finished stoneware, which is used for teaware and other small items, are usually red or brown in colour. They are known as Purple Sand ware, and are typically unglazed.
