AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A first-half 20th-century Yixing teapot themed 'Fish-Dragon Pot' or 'Carp Dragon Pot.' The teapot has a spherical shape with swirling clouds around its body. It is decorated with a dragon emerging from a cloud. The knob features a Ruyi or yuan bao-shaped cloud atop clouds, resembling an arch with an ascending dragon beneath it. The dragon inside the knob is designed to move, and when pouring tea, the dragon and its tongue extend out of the knob.

Stamped on the inside of the lid and on the base with the same makers mark.
