On my pots from this period, it corresponds with an internal joining of clay as if the top and the bottom half of the teapot body were pressed together from two separate molds. This is seemingly in contrast to documented half-handmade techniques which use a press mold for the whole of the teapot body minus the base and the lip of the teapot. I've seemingly only seen factory-period pieces that use this strange inner joining, though I could very well be wrong on that front.
