Signed Daoguang Pewter Yixing Teapot

A bell-shaped pewter-clad Yixing teapot with jade handle, finial and spout, the red stoneware interior with a raised potter’s seal: Hua Xi Shu Wu, the exterior with a poetic inscription and scholar’s mark on one side and a prunus spray on the other. Height: 3 ¾ in.; length: 5 ¼ in. Daoguang (1821-50).

The teapot is not in great shape. The lid has been badly bashed on one side and there are a number of small dings to the body. There has been a rather rough (native) repair to the edge of the base at one point and it seems to me that the jade spout has also been reattached a long time ago. That said, the interior of the teapot is still in good undamaged condition with its seal intact.

I have been unable to identify the scholar’s mark, which may be a point of interest.
