The seal mark on the base, Yunshiju, may be a hall mark, possibly associated with Cao Yi, the younger brother of Cao Ying (1659-1712), a white bannerman and high-ranking official during the Kangxi period. A similar teapot is illustrated in The Art of the Yixing Potter, Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Wares, Hong Kong, 1990, p. 216, pl. 103, and another of this type, dated 17th/18th century, is illustrated in Oriental Works of Art, Gerard Hawthorn Ltd., London, June 2003, no. 7.
