Can anyone identify the mark on this teapot? Thank you! David.

I don't think this is YiXing. The method of manufacture appears quite different. I have not seen a YiXing pot made with that double skin technique, where the two skins are conjoined at the top but not on the base.

I am having a problem with the third character of the mark but the first two are 犬周 QuanZhou and the last is 雕 diao. I couldn't find any reference to QuanZhou and diao means 'carved'. Google images showed one pot slightly similar, but it certainly wasn't overrun with pictures of different pots from the same source.

The third character could be 浮 which in combination with 雕 might refer to the carved outer surface.

I believe it is:
大周浮雕
and 大周 is the artist name used by

周小明
https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/2266082059007766068.html

周小明(艺名大周),工艺美术师.
祖籍江西临川。84年进景德镇新华瓷厂,从事陶瓷美术设计。96年来陶都宜兴从事紫砂装饰与制作,一年后创办了大周陶艺工作室,凭着扎实的绘画功底,把景德镇传统的工艺美术应用在紫砂上,形成了自己的独特风格,有“大周浮雕系列”“大周墨绘系列”“大周挑砂绘画系列”绘画杂件等,其作品“百子闹春”、“龙生九子”、“五龙闹海”等多次在国内大型茶博会上荣获大奖,尤以作品“山水陶板画”在2004年首届中国宜兴陶艺装饰展上荣获一等奖,并选登《宜兴年鉴》;墨绘笔筒“鹿鸣春晓”在2005年陶艺节暨新人新作展评上获得二等奖。作品集古朴典雅、实用与艺术为一体,深受海内外藏家与业内人士的青睐和好评。

從98年開始一直收藏大周鏤空雙層紫砂壺,至今已收到27隻絕然不相同的大周壺。
周小明江蘇省工藝美術協會會員,國家二級技師,國家級工藝美術師。67年生,祖籍江西臨川,景德鎮陶瓷專科學校畢業,86年入景德鎮新華瓷廠技術科,從事陶瓷美術設計與創造,88年來陶都宜興。2004年年作品“山水陶板畫”獲首屆中國宜興陶藝裝飾展上一等獎。2005年作品“鹿鳴春曉”獲國際陶藝節暨新人新作展評上二等獎。2006年年作品“龍生九子“獲宜興全手工製陶大賽二等獎2010年作品”四方抽角龍“獲中國工藝美術大師精品博覽會暨工藝美術優秀作品評選金獎。根據自己的技術特點,先後開發了“精品浮雕系列壺“,”墨繪系列壺“,”本人全手工制壺系列“等。本著“精選砂料”,“強調實用”,精工製作“,”經典造型“四原則,成功開發了”經典傳統壺系列。隨著人們物質文化水平提高,對工藝的要求也相應提升,他也逐步告別了商品系列,尤其是近年來,在茶壺的“砂料”,“造型”製作方面也越來越苛求,盡量做到“盡善盡美”。2006年年以後周小明公開聲明不雕刻鏤空紫砂壺,這樣未來鏤空紫砂壺升值空間就很大了。大周鏤空浮雕雙層紫砂壺製作工藝複雜,壺分為內外雙層,壺外層鏤刻浮雕山水風景,庭園樓閣等,每把壺都是不同形狀及圖案。隔熱防燙又保溫。胎土細潤,傳統原礦手工陳腐練土,非現代化工壺,平光無假釉光。90年代大部份遠銷到加拿大,國內很少見到,壺底有“大周鏤空浮雕”六字。有別於網絡上看到的四字落款“大周浮雕“壺,後者雕功差強人意。
宜興原礦段泥目前非常稀貴。段泥也叫團泥,是紫砂泥料的一種。產於江蘇省宜興黃龍山,原礦段泥層中間往往會間隔有其他的泥料或者礦石,被隔成一段一段的,這是“段泥”這一稱謂的來歷。是紫砂泥中夾層中的夾脂,原礦呈綠灰色,燒成後呈米黃色。泥料內所含顆粒較大結構疏鬆器身明顯成雙氣孔結構,空氣對流順暢;日久使用,漸露鋒芒,養成變化甚大,層次分明,質感強烈,泡養溫潤。泡茶好喝。

Hi Super,

Thanks for your eagle-eyed correction. My incorrect opinion was based on the less than usual construction of the pot. Also, I am not aware of many senior YiXing potters using Kaishu seal marks.

I wanted to get in touch with you a while ago. I thought we had communicated by email before, but couldn't find any address in my records. I can't remember what it was I wanted your opinion on, but if you wouldn't mind me asking your opinion from time to time, you could contact me through
< steelbrush.weebly.com >.

Regards,

Mike

Hi, Mike:

Thanks. I really do not know too much about YiXing clay pot but was lucky that I could read Chinese.
I will contact you.

Super
