Hi Marco,

Thank you for the photos,

This is a Yixing Clay Teapot wrap with pewter, the mark inside is the maker of the teapot.

the outside transcript is a short poem describing "the water from this teapot would be as clean and fresh as the spring water" to express the feeling when enjoying tea.

We are a company specialize in Chinese antique and fine arts,
if you are in North America and would like to part with this item, we would be interested to give you an offer for this teapot.

Thank you so much,

Have a nice day,

Best regards

Marking reads,
范蔬曾製 - Made by Fàn Shūzeng

Unidentifiable marking, probably from later Qing Dynasty.
