Hi can anyone help?

I have this unusual teapot and can't seem to find anything similar or anything about it.(maker and value) It is very large (13 inches high). Initials on the bottom are A.W. It is very beautiful and has interesting details. Not too sure what it is made out of but the inside of the lid looks like it is clay? The inside of the pot is extactly the same as the outside. There are two finger holes on the top to remove the lid. There is crazing and glaze skip on the piece. There is a minor chip on the spout.

Thanks

Hi. Welcome to the forum! It does not look like a typical piece of Italian or Deruta pottery, but I will check the AW against my pottery marks book later today to see if anything turns up.
