How would you go about authenticating something like this?

This is a pot for auction that claims to be made by Shi Dabin from the Ming dynasty. I know how exceedingly unlikely that is to be true, but assuming it were, how would one go about authenticating it?

(Also there are no any inside pics or pics of the underside of the lid)

Is there anywhere reliable to find authentic antique yixing?

Hey guys, I know that for modern yixing there are sites like realzisha or dealers like moodyguy, but are there any places to find authentic antique (early 1900s or before) yixing pots?

Cool little thrift store pot with some design elements (tree branch spout, flower carving, bird head lid handle. Also has an interesting dark green glaze on the outside with a faded yellow squiggle pattern. Can anyone help identify the seals and authenticate it?
