Miniature Yixing Pot

Any thoughts on if old or modern?
To me it looks like hand potted rather than fully molded. Some patina but can't tell if natural or not. Good fit on the lid but still a bit of a play.
Thanks

 

These small teapots were used to make/brew the tea. The tea would be strong and hot water would be added to it from a larger pot, our teapot size.
Did you check Gotheborg?

Have not checked it yet. The database with yixing marks is very limited on the English websites. I have other sources as well but takes a lot of time to find what you are looking for, especially when you don't know Chinese
By the way, a yixing piece does not have to be old to be of a decent value. All depends on the maker. A good and rare design also helps. This being of a common shape, even older, I'd think will have modest value.
As most of you know already know, Chinese buyers will always tell which piece is worth bidding on so unless I suspect an Imperial piece, I don't spend much time researching.
