Featured Chinese Yixing Zisha Clay Pot Legit?

Hello, I got this Chinese tea pot last week… I used Google Lens on it and found some similar tea pots at some high prices, but I want to make sure what I have is the real deal. The mark on the bottom isn’t the clearest, but I did my best to get a decent picture of it.
I greatly appreciate any info and help I can get. TIA!!

 

All the zisha tea pots I found so far have a seal with text, while this one has an image? (to me looking like an Aztec priest/king/god with a disc, and in front of him a two-tailed snake (with feathered tails?), and water )

 

Beautiful teapot, Sara.
I don't know what you mean by legit? I am not aware of teapot fakes, whether Yixing/Zisha or otherwise.

I see a dragon with the obligatory pearl of wisdom, and indeed water.

This Yixing teapot is a similar model to yours, only without the glaze and with incised decoration, and it has feet. It also has a dragon mark, but unfortunately they don't show it:

That makes more sense

As they only mention the dragon, that could possibly be something like this

Found a teapot with a somewhat similar mark!

I found that one too, but decided the Christie's one was more like OPs. The mark is indeed similar, only it has no waves, so probably not the same maker.

 

Thank you so much for the information. I wasn’t sure if there were fakes out there, that’s why I figured I would ask, just to make sure.

 

Aren't Yixing wares still being made today?

 

Yes, they are.

 

Aren't Yixing wares still being made today?
Yes,
I have found the value of Yixing pot is not always about how old it is, but who made it, handmade vs molded and if it embodies "artistry" for lack of a better word...

 

And the "Yixing teapot line". In the perfect Yixing teapot the tops of the spout - pot - handle have to be in a perfect horizontal line. You can test this by putting a ruler on top of the teapot.
