Oh baby teapot, what’s the matter? The water’s too hot???

Unusual pattern. It looks like the patterns are transfer prints; I can detect dot or pin-size patterns.

I think the seal reads “何趙滿” (He Zhao-Man)

This is the late Jiang Rong (蒋蓉 1919-2008) with an antique dealer. Purchased my “squirrel” teapot from this dealer. They seems to be good friends.

This Chinese teapot has a “Jiang Rong” (蒋蓉) marking on the base, though I can’t be sure. Definitely hand made, as I do not see any seaming lines. I think the animal is actually squirrels.

A rather unusual Chinese teapot; contains a head portrait of Chairman Mao, with text of birthday well-wishing. The three Chinese characters around the portrait translates as “Loyalty.”

Note: I believe in Democracy and do not support Communism.

A double-spout Chinese teapot. Just look at that smooth surface!!!

A Chinese forum where people submit their photos to determine if it’s authentic teapots made by Mr. Gu. Quite informal, but the photos are worthy for comparison purposes.
