Yixing teapots are often marked on inside of lid and sometimes also elsewhere.
There have been some famous designer/potters whose marks have been faked.
Important for determining age is patina, form and beauty of execution.
If you post exact description (dimensions) and in-focus photos taken in natural light, including photo of mark and straight-on profile, someone may be able to help with assessment of when made.
Yixing pots are being made today using same clay as 350 years ago.
Good luck,
Cal
