[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 357713, member: 2844"]A bit late to the (tea)party. Lovely pot, really cute, but as you noticed, not the perfect Yixing teapot line. If the price is right and it clearly 'speaks' to you, by all means buy it. I agree with the others, there are no real fakes, just antique, vintage, recent, good quality and lesser quality. Here are some relevant things I wrote before in other threads: 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. The perfect Yixing teapot line is equal height for the top of the pot, the top of the handle, and the top of the spout. Did you check Gotheborg for the mark?
