    I'm curious what these would be, I know jade on both but the seals are confusing me, thanks.

    You'll get more attention if the pictures are full size in the thread, rather than the little clickies in the "light box".

    An internet image search for "Tibet" and "tea pot" will bring up similar examples.

    In my opinion this is a repro. Oriental craftsmen of those eras were extremely precise and their mark was put on with great pride. This looks like it was stamped with a boot.

    My thoughts exactly, they did take pride in their work so, yes, I agree.

    I agree. It is common practice in China to use marks of different dynasties calling them honorary or auspices marks - in other words reproductions or fakes. The pic of the mark, the 2nd pic, needs to be rorated 90 degrees clockwise. The Chinese characters are identical to those of 193 and others in in the section: "QING DYNASTY. Qianlong Nian Zhi - Qianlong Period Make." In the intro to that section it says "... This practise of applying stamped four character "Qianlong Nian Zhi" marks was especially common on porcelain decorated in Hong Kong during the 1960s and 70s, but is in no way limited to this period."
