The teapot is richly detailed, with a foo dog (guardian lion) knob on the lid, and a dragon head-shaped spout. Material: Yixing Zisha clay (red/brown purple clay). Design: Dragon, Phoenix, and Guardian Lion.

Markings: Two impressed maker's seals - one on the base and one inside the lid (see photos). Condition: Very good for age; displays minor wear and small natural imperfections typical of handmade pieces. Please review all photos carefully for details.
