Green Teapot

Would really appreciate some assistance with this Teapot, it was given to me by a very old friend who’s had it her family for many years. No markings to base at all. Thank you in advance.

I would call this a Japanese lustre ware teapot (though it is hard to tell from the photo whether there is a lustre finish.) If you google Japanese lustre teapot or look in eBay you will see many of a similar shape. Most would have had a printed Made in Japan mark. (Better quality ones would have had factory marks - like Kutani, Noritake.) Probably once part of a full tea set -  sugar, creamer, plates. Zillions of it made for export 1930s 1940s even later. Looks like transfer decoration with some hand painting. As a single piece with what looks like some damage to the floral pattern it could be difficult to sell IMO.

Thank you for your comments, no doubt it will remain on display in my friends China cabinet for many years to come.
