An early 20th century teapot

Alans Museum has a teapot acquired many years ago. The clay is said to be extinct as this clay was no more in production long time ago.

The name on the inside cover as not clearly engraved. But the words Yang Xian Zisha were engraved at the bottom. The teapot is quite big in size. The clay has a light grey colour. When hot water is poured into it, the colour immediate changes to silvery grey, what an awesome sight.
