I checked “Dragonware” teapots on Google “image” and this is the only one I found with a handle similar to the “posted” one, to wit:

Thank you for your responses.  These are so hard to narrow down.

How nany claws does the Dragon have? That would help narrowing down from which country it comes. Do I see right that there are four claws on each paw? Then it would be Chinese... I cannot read the mark unfortunately.

I have seen Yixing teapots with such a border around the mark, so it does appear on Chinese items...

Doesn't appear to be that old to me. The dragon chasing the flaming pearl is a familiar design but....

Ditto what Mat said about the key design is seen on Chinese items.
