This antique-style Chinese Yixing Zisha teapot is a remarkable example of "three-metal" or mixed-media craftsmanship, likely dating from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic period. The body is formed from classic purple clay (Zisha), featuring a distinctive flattened ovoid silhouette and a finely speckled texture. It is elegantly appointed with pale green jade accents, including a smooth C-shaped handle and a matching jade finial on the lid. Adding to its historical character, the spout is encased in a decorative pewter or silver-toned metal mount featuring openwork "cash" coin motifs and etched floral patterns. The underside bears a clear, recessed four-character seal mark in seal script, typical of established Yixing kilns. This piece is a sophisticated find for collectors of scholar’s objects or those who appreciate the unique fusion of stoneware, jade, and metalwork. Not for beverage serving.
