We have had this teapot for a number of years, perhaps having inherited it from a relative (we are not sure). I was not sure if this was a valuable teapot. But because it had the maker's marks my son posted pictures on an antiques forum, and it was identified as a Yixing teapot of some value. There are two maker's marks. One is on the underside of the lid (see image 21) and the other one is on the bottom of the teapot (see image 22).

The teapot has a maximum length (from tip of spout to end of handle) of approximately 18 cm.

Please note that, because of the high value of this item, I will ask Royal Mail to require a signature of the recipient on delivery.
