Any pottery experts out there? teapot

Hi, I've not used the forum before, I'll try to add pictures but I don't know if it'll work. I believe the teapot's English but that's all I know. alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> Kris Baker... Please don't try to put HTML in your posts; binaries belong in binary-appropriate groups. It comes out as coding for most of us, and makes it very hard to read. All you need are the URLs themselves, like this: That said, I see a very broken-up and reglued teapot that's probably of little value. John R. Yamamoto-Wilson... I'm not a pottery person, but I notice that the little symbols on the bottom make the Japanese reading "kuki" or, possibly, depending on the age of the teapot, "kiku". I don't know if that's significant, but since both kuki" and "kiku" refer to types of Japanese tea I thought there might be some point in mentioning it. John Kris Baker... Ah, thank you. Now we know it's a broken and repair Japanese teapot. It actually would be very nice if cleaned up and hadn't been broken. It looks 1930s to me. http://rarebooksinjapan.org
