Only one character is not visible. “中國宜興紫X工藝”, X is probably 砂.

@dROOOze I think there might be one more character after 藝, because of the layout. There does seem to be something. It could be the simplified 廠.

<p>Basically, it's a seal on a teapot, I'm wondering if it's legit in any way. The characters should be something like 'name+surname crafter'</p>

These are quite modern Chinese characters. We expect an attempt at deciphering writing in the question. Please try this guide [(How do I self-answer "What does this say?")](https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/36144/how-do-i-self-answer-what-does-this-say) then edit the question with your attempt.

With the "registered" character clearly visible and that the characters are in Simplified Chinese. It could be very likely that this wouldn't contain any "name+surname crafter". I would think it only contained the company name.
