Teapots with inscriptions

Some teapots have inscriptions on the body. These teapots are mainly commissioned by shops or tea factory to promote their tea.

The most common ones are teapots with inscription to promote China's Oolong tea. The value of such teapots depends on when they are made. Those made in the 50s and 60s are very rare and expensive. Hence, there will be fakes around and one has to be careful when offered such pots at an attractive price. Those made in the 70s are still expensive but equally hard to find. Those made in the 90s are still available if you want to own one. Bear in mind the state owned teapot factories ceased from production in late 90s.
