turn the teapot clockwise, about 100 - 110 degree :)

the characters are:

棠吳
制省

“吳省棠” is a name, most likely the teapot maker; “制” means “make, fabricate”

anyway, “棠” is my best guess at this moment, take a clearer photo; please 😸

    Amazing. You are very good at the ancient Chinese 字體.

  • @r13, seal script & bronze script is not that difficult, with practises, you can also read with ease 😺 Sep 8, 2022 at 1:07
  • :) I often forgot and couldn't recognize my own writing that was made a few days ago :)!

  • @r13, maybe an outdated opinion: read and write daily (not type a han-chinese character by input method, nor speech recognition), it helps 😸 Sep 8, 2022 at 1:28
