The Chinese Yixing Zisha Clay Teapot with a round form and Bodhisattva script with mark by GU Jingzhou, (this is what AI told me; however, I cannot confirm authenticity.)  it is a unique piece of pottery. Originating from China, this teapot is crafted from high-quality purple clay and features intricate script details. The brown color and traditional design make it a valuable collectible item for those interested in Asian antiques and tea culture. Made by a skilled artesian, this teapot showcases the craftsmanship and beauty of Yixing clay teapots. I am starting this at a reasonably low start for esthetic value. It is signed inside cover and to bottom. Super-size to see well and e-questions. 5" tall x 6" handle to spout. NOTICE: It does not have seams. Inside reminds me of the engine turned clay pots of the 18th century and has a metallic ring when the lid hits the rim, not a thud.
