Pair antique/vintage yixing pottery zisha ware teapots.

From the 17th century on, Yixing wares were commonly exported to Europe. The finished stoneware, which is used for teaware and other small items, is usually red or brown in colour. Also known as zisha ware. Fine original condition. Both signed on the bottom.
