Sharing with you this nice zisha/yixing teapot, 19th century and moulded into the trunk of a plum tree. I always like these nicely shaped pieces.

The lid and the bas both have a mark and according to the ‘Yixing teapots to Europe’ book the translation is as following;

The lid has 2 characters in a double gourd vase reading ‘Jing Ming’

The base a six character seal mark reading Yizing Zisha Chahu.

see pictures.

Enjoy the piece!
