Subject:Chinese teapot, how old??? Help
Posted By: Sam Tue, Nov 26, 2019 IP: 71.206.172.174

Hello,
I found this Chinese teapot and the closest hallmark to what I have looks very old but if not, when is it from or is it really this old. Please let me know what you know or what you think!

You got three of the four characters right, the one that's off is at the bottom right, indicating that this is supposed to date from the "Hongxian" 洪憲 reign (1915-1916) or shortly thereafter. However this is actually a new or recently made decorative item rather than a collectible or an antique.

Thank you! I feel like mystery is solved, I have something not very old. Thanks for the time and info!
