Anybody know anything about Chinese Teapots?

I bought this awhile ago, and I wonder if anybody knows anything about this ugly thing. I assume it's a teapot at least.

The writing on the side is in Mongolian, but it's jibberish. It just says "babu babu mamu mamu" over and over which apparently doesn't mean anything. The other writing is Chinese, somebody told me the marks on the bottom say "Made by Shi Dabin". Shi Dabin was a famous teapot maker from hundreds of years ago. He obviously didn't make this monstrosity, but it's common for other teapot makers to use his name.
