Japanese silver teapot - how old? and trans, please

Postby Ag999 » Tue Jan 19, 2021 8:15 pm

How old is this teapot?

I can see from the jungin mark that it is made of silver.

What do the other characters mean?

(It's about 3-1/2 inches in diameter)

Thanks

I learned on another forum that the bottom two characters are 徳力 meaning "Tokuriki" which is a very old company in Japan that deals in precious metals.
